April 18, 1962: The Las Vegas UFO Crash

Abstract

Just after 8:00 P.M. on the evening of April 18, 1962, something bright flashed over part
of the United States lighting up the ground from Kansas to Nevada. There were reports
that it landed near the small town of Eureka, Utah and reports of radar confirmation from
Nellis Air Force Base outside of Las Vegas. Newspapers the next day reported on the
flight or on an explosion seen on the eastern border of Nevada near Mesquite. Search and
rescue operations were begun but ended when no one reported the lost of an aircraft.
Investigation by the Air Force suggested there were two separate events on two separate
days, that there had been no attempts of an intercept by Air Force fighters, and that a
solution for the sightings had been found. None of that was true. Investigation by civilian
researchers found dozens of witnesses, evidence of a radar sighting, proof of intercept
attempts, and confusion about the dates created by the Air Force. If what was learned is
true, then it is quite possible a craft from another world fell on part of the extensive
gunnery ranges controlled by the Air Force.

Introduction

In the Project Blue Book files, the official investigation of UFOs by the U.S. Air
Force, there are few cases that offer multiple chains of evidence. That is, few cases offer
multiple eyewitness testimony over a large region, radar confirmation of the object’s
passing, interaction with the environment, and even the possibility of physical evidence.
Such a complex case, if properly researched and analyzed, could go a long way in
demonstrating the reality of alien spacecraft in our atmosphere.

On April 18, 1962 there was a case that offered all these research elements.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Air Force wasn’t all that interested in furthering belief in
UFOs and the investigations conducted by the officers and NCOs left a great deal to be
desired. Investigators were later sent to Utah twice where there was a possible landing
and dozens of witnesses, spent “one full day” investigating. They failed to interview all
but a few of the witnesses and they failed to find any trace of an extraterrestrial object,
though they seemed to believe they were searching for a meteorite and not an alien
spacecraft.

The Air Force split the sightings into two separate cases, one on April 18 in and
around Las Vegas and the other on April 19 in the Nephi-Eureka area of Utah. They
investigated them as if they were two separate events. This made it more easy to explain

the sightings because if the events were linked many of the possible mundane
explanations were eliminated.

According to Project Blue Book files, the April 18 case was a radar sighting from
Nellis Air Force Base just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The project card gave this brief
summary of the sighting, “Radar sighting. Blip. Speed of object varied. Initial
observation at 060 [degrees] no elevation. Disappearance at 105 degrees az[imuth]
10,000 feet altitude. Heading tentively (sic) NE, however disappeared instantly to S.
Observed by search and height radars. No. Visual.”

In the comments section of the project card, it said, “There is insufficient data in
the report to form a valid conclusion. Speed, changes in course, and altitude not included.
Appearance on both search and height finder confirms that some object was there. Track
characteristics indicate possible balloon as the source.” It is not explained why the
investigators, offered some intriguing information, didn’t attempt to answer the questions
they posed. They just noted the information was not readily available and let it go at that.

Let’s take a quick look at another aspect. The Air Force claimed that there were
no visual sightings. The Las Vegas Sun, however, reported on April 19, the day after the
radar sighting, in a banner headline, “Brilliant Red Explosion Flares in Las Vegas Sky.”
That article suggested dozens of witnesses and even named some of them. In the lead
paragraph, Jim Stalmaker, a reporter for the newspaper wrote that a “tremendous flaming
sword flashed across the Las Vegas skies last night and heralded the start of a search for a
weird unidentified flying object that apparently had America’s Air Force on alert.”

Stalmaker reported that Frank Maggio, a staff photographer had seen the object.
According to the newspaper, Maggio said that a series of bright explosions broke up its
trail across the sky.

I talked to Maggio a number of years ago as | was investigating this story. He
couldn’t tell me anything more than what had been published in the newspaper. It had
been a long time ago and the sighting, at least from his point of view, was of nothing
truly extraordinary. It was just a visual sighting of a bright light that seemed to be related
to the radar tracks recorded out at Nellis.

That same article mentioned Sheriff's Deputy Walter Butt who was in charge of
the department’s search and rescue team. The consensus seemed to be that the object was
heading out toward the east and there had been a final explosion near Mesquite, Nevada
on the Utah border. Butt took his team into an area between Spring Mountain and
Mesquite, but nothing else had been reported to the newspaper.

Butt told me, in a telephone interview, that they had searched the area in jeeps and
when the sun came up, used airplanes. They didn’t find anything of importance, except
some ashes that he thought were probably part of a campfire started some weeks earlier
by a hunter. When no one reported any missing aircraft, and they had run up against the
fences of part of a Nellis firing range, they called off the search.

At the AEC’s Nevada Test Site was a man who also saw the object in the air. He
said that it looked like a nuclear explosion but added quickly that it came from the wrong
direction for that answer to work.

In Colorado Springs where the North American Air Defense Command
(NORAD) is located, the information officer, Lt. Col. Herbert Rolph said they had one
report of a sighting as far away as New York.

A NORAD astronomer said that the object could have been a “Lyrid meteor”
which are often seen between April 19 and 22. But he had seen nothing himself, had
heard none of the eyewitness reports, and was merely pointing to a possible solution.

Interestingly, a Nellis Air Force Base spokesman, in contradiction to the
astronomer, said, ““There’s only one thing wrong with that: a meteor cannot be tracked on
radar. And this object was.”

There is a hand written note in the Project Blue Book files impacting on all this.
Lt. Col. H.C. Showers at the command post called “FTD [Foreign Technology Division]
of the following event reported to the war room at the Pentagon.”

Here’s where that gets interesting. The log entry said, “General [Laurence S.]
Kuter (NORAD) took off and was climbing through 10,000 [feet] when he saw a
‘meteor’ [quotes in original document] come out of orbit as 0319Z 19 April. He
described the object as cherry red, clear green, with a long white and red tail. He
estimated object near Colorado Springs and [the] AF Academy. USAF indicated reports
coming in from Idaho, Utah, Arizona, ‘OCD’ 28" and 29" (2?) Regions, Navy Aircraft,
B-52 crew and DC-8 pilots. All reported alike in shape, color, and general direction of
travel... south to north. An ‘Air Force Colonel’ [quotes in original] reported that object
[over] the western range - but there was no noise. Denver center [FAA flight center]
reported at 0332Z that after 10 - 15 minutes after the first reports the trail could still be
seen. No radar pick up reported as yet. Visual sightings only.”

About fifty minutes later, just after midnight the command post got another
report, this time from Lt. Col. James Howell who wanted to report “numerous reports to
the FAA and AFLC [command post] on the above sighting. It was observed in Los
Angeles, Col. [Colorado], Montana; Kansas; Utah. A Captain Shields [more on him later]
of the 733 Troop Carrier Squadron, Ogden, Utah, reported to AFLC that the object
appeared around 0300Z and was extremely bright - like burning magnesium. He happed
to be in a procedure turn and thus estimated the life to be 10 seconds. He further stated it
was traveling from the southwest to the northeast.”

The notes were signed by Howell A.Dennis, an Air Force captain.
During the Air Force investigation, Captain Shields was identified as Captain

Herman Gordon Shields, an Air Force pilot. In a report created by Douglas M. Crouch,
the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Sections, Shields said, “I was flying a C-119

aircraft from the left seat (captain’s seat). We were approximately two miles west of La
Van, Utah flying at 8500 feet MSL... We were making a right turn... We were
approximately 25 degrees of bank... when it began to get very bright in the cockpit. The
illumination was from above. It built up slowly. My first impression while the intensity
was low was that it was the landing lights of another aircraft. Of course when the
intensity increased this was ruled out automatically. The cockpit was illuminated from
above... The light source was coming from this area that was blanked out, in other words,
straight behind this instrument panel because neither Lieutenant Larson, who was in the
right seat, nor I, saw the source of the illumination... The light intensity increased until
we could see objects (on the ground) as bright as day for a radius of five to ten miles
from the aircraft... The intensity of the light diminished faster than it had increased. After
the light had decreased in intensity we were still looking for the light source, and |
noticed an object to my left between the wing and the lower part of the fuselage of the
aircraft against the hills. By this time the light had decreased so that the hills were dark. It
was night again. And this object which I saw was illuminated. It had a long slender
appearance comparable to a cigarette in size, that is, the diameter with respect to the
length of the object. The fore part, or the lower part of the object, was very bright, intense
white such as a magnesium fire. The second half, the aft section, was a clearly
distinguishable yellowish color. | would say the object was just about divided in half, the
forepart being intensely white, the aft section having a more yellow color to it.”

Later in that same report, Shields said, “I saw only a slender object. I don’t know
what shape it was. It was only slender object... There was no exhaust, no trail following
after it. It was clearly defined. | saw it for a period of maybe one or two seconds.”

What all this has done is connect these sightings in Las Vegas and in Colorado
with those over the rest of the United States. The best of them came from Utah where
there were dozens of witnesses, talk of the craft interacting with the environment, and the
possibility of a landing near the small town of Eureka.

The Blue Book project card for the Eureka sighting originally gave the date as 19
April but that was using Greenwich Mean Time. When corrected to local time the
sightings were made within fifteen minutes of those in Las Vegas and were therefore on
the same day.

The project card noted, “Obj[ect] came in over Cuba & apparently landed in
rough terrain West of Eureka Utah. Bright enough to trip photo electric cell which
controlled city street lights. Multiple rpts. Attempted recovery by Col Friend & Dr.
Hynek. See case file.”

The investigation conducted by Hynek and Friend lasted less than forty-eight
hours and consisted of interviews with local residents and an aborted attempt to find the
object that everyone was sure had fallen not far from Eureka. Or maybe “landed” would
be a better word for it.

On May 8, 1962, Hynek and Friend, accompanied by Douglas Crouch, who had
interviewed Shields, and who had interviewed other Utah residents, arrived in Utah.
Friend, writing to “Hq USAF, SAFOI-3b (Major Hart),” reported, “The number of
reports generated by the 18 April 1962 sighting, and the fact that the Air Force
investigation came to a negative conclusion regarding the UFO, they indicated it couldn’t
have been a meteor (Attachment #1), prompted further investigation by FTD [Foreign
Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base]....This investigation was
completed in one full day and it was concluded that the object was a bolide. An attempt
was made to locate the object but this effort failed due to the general nature of the data.
Further study of this sighting indicates that the meteor probably struck in the area of the
Wasatch National Forest; however, the Air Force has made no effort to recover it.”

That statement, written by Friend, that Hynek and Friend actually went into the
area to conduct the investigation, and that they found no conflicting data suggests that
Friend might be right. In fact, Dr. Robert Kadesch, who was an associate professor of
physics at the University of Utah confirmed this in that interview I conducted. Kadesch
said, simply, “[It]... probably was a bolide.”

There is, however, more to this case. I visited the area in 1991 and interviewed a
number of the witnesses. Among the first to sight the object was Sheriff Raymond
Jackson of Nephi, Utah. According to newspapers, the photoelectric cells on the
streetlights were tripped by the bright object. Jackson told me that he had “heard a kind
of a roar.” He glanced up and saw a yellow-white flame going west, heard a series of
loud booms, and that the lights went out. All consistent with a bolide that tripped the
photoelectric cells on the streetlights.

But Jackson also told me that he noticed, specifically, that the lights in a doctor’s
office had gone out. He said, “All the lights went out temporarily.” He meant that not
only had the streetlights gone out, but other lights in the town that weren’t controlled by
photoelectric cells.

The local newspaper, the Nephi Times-News reported that Maurice Memmott and
Dan Johnson were south of town, working their farms when the object flashed overhead.
Memmott told me that he remembers very little about the incident. It was just a bright
light in the sky that lit the ground like the noon time sun. He said that he believes it was a
meteor.

Johnson told me that he remembered the event quite well. He said, “The two of us
were out in the fields... there were no lights so we were in total darkness.” According to
him, it came over the southeastern horizon and passed directly over them. “It was a very
bright light.”

Unlike many of the others, Johnson remembered no sound associated with the
object. He did believe that it had landed somewhere to the northwest. He didn’t think it
was more than five or six miles away. Distances and sizes of objects in the sky are hard
to judge, and Johnson’s estimate of the landing was probably wrong.

What is interesting is that Johnson told me that several men had come out to talk
to him about the sighting. This wasn’t Hynek and Friend but apparently soldiers from the
Army’s Dugway Proving grounds not all that far from the area.

Tracking the times and dates as they appeared in the newspaper, Johnson’s
conclusion seems to be correct. There were two separate teams of investigators and there
is no indication that any of the information gathered by the soldiers from Dugway ever
found its way into the Air Force files. If Hynek and Friend ever learned of the
investigation, they mentioned nothing about it and didn’t record the information for
inclusion in the file.

I also interviewed Sergeant E.C. Sherwood of the Utah Highway Patrol. He said
that he looked up in time to see a ball of fire and thought that it was something from the
White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico. He said that it was mostly a blue
light that seemed to explode right over him, throwing off a cloud of white sparks.

Sherwood’s wife heard the explosion and ran outside to see what had happened.
She told me that most of the neighbors were outside too. All were looking up into the
sky.

I talked to others in the area who told me that there was a series of explosions,
twenty to thirty of them strung together. Their descriptions ran from a rocket’s engine to
an artillery shell flying over. There was nothing in these descriptions to rule out a bolide.
They are often associated with a roaring sound or a series of detonations.

As the object traveled from Nephi toward Eureka, it flew over Bob Robinson and
Floyd Evans. According to what Robinson told me, he was traveling south of Eureka
when they stopped for a moment and both men got out of the truck. Robinson saw the
light in the southeast and pointed it out. Evans thought it was some kind of a jet aircraft.
This is a description that had been made in other, similar sightings over the years.

The object approached them rapidly and then passed directly overhead. Robinson
told me he thought it was no more than five hundred feet above them. He said it was a
flaming object and he thought he could see a series of square windows on the craft almost
hidden in the glow.

Robinson told me that both he and Evans were frightened by the experience. As
they had dived under the truck for protection, the engine began to sputter and run roughly
and the headlights dimmed, but the engine didn’t stall and the lights didn’t go out
completely.

Robinson thought as the object reached them it slowed, as if taking a look at
them. Robinson thought the object, or at least the light from it was visible for about two
minutes. As it disappeared in the west, the engine of his truck smoothed out and the

headlights brightened.

His wife, Betty told me that when he returned home he looked as if he had seen a
ghost. His face was white and he was so excited that it was hard for him to speak.

While she had been sitting in the house, she had heard the roar of the object as it
flew over. The interior of the house lit up with a strobbing effect.

Joseph Bernini, the police chief told me he was a city council meeting when they
all heard the roar. Bernini said that it sounded like an artillery shell flying over. He said
that he only saw a bright light but he didn’t see any object.

Bernini also told me that as the object flew over, the lights outside went out but
these streetlights were on photoelectric cells and no one else reported any other power
failures in the town.

Both Bernini’s wife and his son saw the light and his son said that he also saw an
object. He said that it was moving from the southeast to the northwest.

Kadesh, when I asked, said that he believed the object to be a bolide that exploded
sixty to seventy miles high. The flash was so bright that people in Kansas saw it. There
were those in Reno, Nevada who also said they saw the flash.

Kadesh thought that people on the ground, looking up, into the night sky with no
real points of reference, would be unable to accuracy judge distances and speeds. There
have been a number of UFO reports in which this problem has been demonstrated time
and again. Add the complication of the unidentified nature of the object and most people
would inaccurately describe size, speed and altitude.

But, naturally, they would be able to judge direction. In Utah it was heading to the
northwest. In Reno, Dan Dyer and the controllers in the local FAA control tower, saw the
flash and told reporters that it was a brilliant white with a long tail, changing to green,
orange and red.

According to officers at Stead Air Force Base, a Bonanza Air Lines pilot said that
the light passed beneath his aircraft which was flying at 11,000 feet. That made two
different flight crews, Shields in Utah, and the Bonanza crew in Nevada who reported the
object below their aircraft. That alone should have ruled out the bolide theory.

I also checked the local Nevada newspapers. The newspapers create a problem
because, according to the Reno newspaper the path of the object, as it passed overhead,
was traveling from the north to the south, and then suggested that it had crashed
somewhere in Utah. The Los Angeles Times reported that the object seen over Reno was
traveling to the east. Had the object been a fireball as Dr. Hynek and Lt. Col. Friend
suggested, there wouldn’t have been such a substantial change in direction. Or, there is a
discrepancy in the reported direction.

The real question here is if we have a single sighting or if we have two. Project
Blue Book created two separate files and suggested that one had taken place on April 18
and the second on April 19. If it this case was of two sightings, then natural phenomenon,
including bolides make sense. True, it would be unusual to have two bolides on two
separate nights but it wouldn’t be impossible, especially given the time of the year. It
would mean that something had fallen near Eureka, Utah, and something different was
tracked on radar near Las Vegas.

| have talked to a man who wishes to remain anonymous, who told me on audio
tape, that he had been traveling through Utah on the night the object flashed over. He said
it was a glowing, orange ball that approached the ground and knocked out all the lights in
Eureka, not just the photoelectric cell streetlights.

When he got close enough, he saw that it had an oval shape and as it took off,
heard a quiet whirring noise. He said that it headed to the west, toward Nevada. He
watched it until it faded from sight.

At one time, I would have given great weight to an eyewitness sighting, even if
the witness didn’t want his name associated with UFOs. I could understand that, given
public reaction and perception. In fact, not all that long ago I heard a cable network news
anchor say that she thought there was something to stories of flying saucers and she said
that she wasn’t even a little crazy. And days later a candidate running for president was
tarred with the brush that he was crazy when he acknowledged a UFO sighting. That
reinforces, in today’s world, that those who see UFOs are a little unhinged.

But, the man’s tale is shaky because he won’t allow his name to be used. If he is
telling the truth, and this would be an important truth, then he should let me report who
he is. Since he won’t, there is no way for others to evaluate his stability, education,
qualifications, or truthfulness. His is just another report that fits into the stream near
Eureka, but which the skeptics can claim is irrelevant because they don’t know who it
was. And | have to agree with them.

This fits into another piece of the puzzle which, in the past, I would have given
great weight to. Not so much today. I received a letter, the writer of which claimed that
he had been a young lieutenant at Nellis AFB on the night the object was seen there. He
didn’t identify himself but did provide a picture of a piece of debris.

This man claimed that he had been awakened in the night and taken out into the
desert where he and about thirty others were put to work picking up debris. When the sun
came up they were all loaded onto a bus that had the windows blacked out with large
pieces of paper. Through a hole, or a place where the paper didn’t fully cover the
window, he could see out. According to his letter, he saw a disk-shaped craft that had
been smashed.

At Nellis, they were all debriefed, told that this was a classified event and not to
talk to anyone about it. They were told only that they had helped recover debris from an

experimental aircraft that had crashed and anything that leaked about the event could help
the Soviets.

I have never heard from this man again and he didn’t sign the letter. It is an
anonymous tale with a hint of physical evidence in the form of the picture. But then, in
today’s world, without a name so that we can verify his claim to having been an Air
Force officer and stationed at Nellis at the right time, there is no reason to accept this
story as authentic. | mention it here only because someone else might have heard the
story or someone else who was there is willing to talk about it now. Without additional
corroboration, this is little more than rumor.

When we look at all these sightings, it begins to look as if a single object was
responsible for al] the reports. It may have landed in Utah, but we also have witnesses to
it taking off again, heading to the west. Then over Nevada, we have additional reports of
the object moving to the southeast, apparently making the turn over Reno, flying near Las
Vegas, and disappearing in a blinding flash east of Las Vegas over Mesquite, near the
Utah border. All this suggests a single object was responsible for the sightings.

The Air Force, which had received most of the sighting reports, initially thought
the same thing. One object was responsible for everything. Officers at Stead Air Force
Base, Nellis Air Force Base, and at NORAD, all drew the same conclusion. The reports
from Utah and Reno show the sightings were made within fifteen minutes of each other
when corrected for the time zones and the fact that some of the sighting reports were filed
using Greenwich Mean Time.

The Air Force file for the Nellis Radar sighting puts the incidence some sixteen
minutes after the sightings in Utah, but the official spokesman at Nellis said the Air
Defense Command was alerted by the fire trail seen at approximately 7:20 p.m. or within
a few minutes of the Utah sightings.

In these files, which | believe were never meant to be seen by anyone other than
project officers and those making UFO policy, we see that a spokesman for the 28" Air
Division at Stead Air Force Base admitted the power in Eureka was knocked out and that
fighters had been scrambled from Nellis as a result of the radar sightings there.

But, on September 21, 1962, Major C.R. Hart of the Public Information Office,
responding to a letter from a New York resident claimed that “The official records of the
Air Force list the 18 April 1962 Nevada sighting to which you refer as ‘unidentified,
insufficient data.” There is an additional note to the effect that ‘the reported track is
characteristic of that registered by a U-2 or a high balloon but there is insufficient data
reported to fully support such an evaluation.” The phenomena reported was not
intercepted or fired upon.”

Reports in the Project Blue Book files clearly show that fighters had been
launched and intercepts had been attempted. I suppose it could be argued that Major Hart
did not have access to these reports and he had written only what he had been told.

His explanation also left something to be desired. He wrote that “track is
characteristic of that registered by a U-2 or a high balloon...” Well, which was it? A
balloon track would be made at the whim of the wind and a U-2 would have a track that
showed intelligent control. Surely the radar operator would have been able to tell if he
was tracking a balloon or a jet.

Why didn’t they know this for certain? The answer is simple. They could find no
record of a U-2 flight or balloon launch that would have put one or the other over Las
Vegas at the proper time. So, it might have been a balloon. It could have been a high
flying U-2 spy plane. But, in reality, it wasn’t either.

If you study the Project Blue Book files, you’ll find nearly 4000 cases labeled as
insufficient data for a scientific analysis. What they were doing was “explaining” the
cases without having to explain them. The insufficient label kept the case out of the
unidentified category. They didn’t actually have an explanation, yet they had explained it.

So, in the end, what do we have here?

We have an object seen by thousands. In Utah, it was near the ground and it
interacted with the environment, stalling a car engine and dimming the lights, and putting
out the lights in Eureka. It maneuvered while close to the ground so that dozens saw it
and provided descriptions that do not match a bolide. One witness, who remains
anonymous, claims the object landed and took off again. The object continued its
journey, reaching Reno where it turned to the southeast, flew on toward Las Vegas where
there were more witnesses and it was tracked on radar. Then east of Las Vegas, near the
Utah border, it apparently blew up.

There is a variety of documentation from the newspapers including the Las Vegas
Sun, Los Angeles Times, Deseret News and Telegram, The Salt Lake Tribune, The Eureka
Reporter and the Nephi News-Leader. Additional documentation, including the reports
created at the time came from the Project Blue Book files.

This case was connected in the Air Force files even though they created two
separate files and treated it as two separate events. When put together, the bolide
explanation fails, but separated they are spectacular events that can be explained in the
mundane.

On a page in the file that appears prior to the Intelligence Report prepared by
Douglas Crouch, an unknown officer wrote, “On April 18, 1962, the Air Force Defense
Command was puzzled by an aerial object that exploded and seemed to be a meteor, but
had the unique distinction of being tracked by radar 70 miles northwest of Las Vegas,
Nevada in a blinding flash. An Air Force Defense Command alert reported the object was
tracked and traced over New York, Kansas, Utah, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico,
Wyoming, Arizona and California, so that its light covered almost as much area as that
created by the big hydrogen space bomb test held later in the Pacific hundreds of miles

high.”

The thing about this is that the note is not in the Las Vegas file but in the Utah
file. And it suggests radar tracks in other parts of the country as well as that from Nellis.
The flight time, according to the files was thirty-two minutes, much too long for a
meteor.

With the cases separated, the Air Force was able to deal with the cases
piecemeal. The Utah case becomes a bolide and Robert Kadesch, a scientist not involved
with the UFO project or the Foreign Technology Division, made a plausible expert. His
statement, reported throughout the country sounded reasonable when the testimony of the
witnesses is ignored.

This reveals that the Air Force was not interested in investigation or solving
riddles. They were interested in clearing cases, slapping a label on them and letting it go
at that. We know it because they interviewed the Utah witnesses such as Bob Robinson
and Floyd Evans. They interviewed a dozen witnesses, some of whom described the
object and who said it was close to the ground. They knew the power had been knocked
out in Nephi but reported only the light was so bright it affected the photoelectric cells in
Eureka. They ignored the information that didn’t fit with the bolide theory.

Something extraordinary happened on the night of April 18, 1962. The Air Force
offered, as it so often did, a series of explanations and ignored those facts that didn’t fit.
But the witnesses who were there know the truth. They saw something from outer space
and it was not a meteor. It was a craft from another world. There is no doubt about it.

Why UFOs are a National Security Threat

Nick Redfern
Copyright © 2008 Nick Redfern

Introduction

When it comes to addressing the nature and possible intent of the UFO presence on
Planet Earth, beyond any shadow of a doubt one of the most critically important and
relevant questions that potentially has major implications for all of us, as a species, is
surely: do UFOs represent a threat to our national security?

The answer to that question is without doubt: “Yes.”

Indeed, a thorough, in-depth study of official documentation declassified under
the terms of the Freedom of Information Acts of both the United States of America and
Great Britain, combined with notable testimony from military and government personnel,
offers convincing evidence that contradicts the official position that UFOs are without
significance, and demonstrates that the UFO issue has, for decades, had a major bearing
upon national security.

Paradoxically, and despite being fully aware of the illuminating contents of its
very own files, i.e. memoranda and documentation, the official world stubbornly
maintains that no UFO report received through official channels has ever had any sort of
bearing upon national security—at all.

For example, consider Project Blue Book: the U.S. Air Force’s now-defunct
investigative study of the UFO phenomenon. Established in 1953, Project Blue Book was
borne out of two previous U.S. Air Force investigative projects pertaining to UFOs: Sign
and Grudge. Between 1948 (the year that saw the creation of Project Sign) and 1969 (the
year in which Project Blue Book was officially terminated), 12,618 reported UFO
sightings were investigated by military personnel assigned to the three, above-projects.

The standard U.S. Air Force response to both public and media inquiries, is as
follows:

Of these sightings, 11,917 were found to have been caused
by material objects (such as balloons, satellites and
aircraft), immaterial objects (such as lightning, reflections,
and other natural phenomena), astronomical objects (such
as stars, planets, the sun, and the moon), weather conditions
and hoaxes. Only 701 reported sightings remained
unexplained. '

Conceming the sightings which remained unidentified, the U.S. Air Force
remains adamant that:

Of the very few that remained unidentified, there was no
indication of a technology beyond our own scientific
knowledge, or that any sightings could be considered an
extra-terrestrial vehicle. More importantly, throughout
Project Blue Book, there was never [emphasis mine] a
shred of evidence to indicate a threat to our national
security. *

The Bntish Ministry of Defense’s stance on the UFO issue is practically identical
in nature:

Our main concern is to determine whether or not UFOs
present a threat to the security and defense of the United
Kingdom. The Ministry of Defense has no evidence to
indicate that any UFO report ever received by us has posed
a threat to national security and to the defense of the United
Kingdom. °

It gives me no pleasure whatsoever to advise you, the reader, that both of those
statements are demonstrably, and outrageously, false and misleading—as you will soon
learn, in graphic proportions. Before revealing the many and varied ways in which
national security has been extensively compromised by UFOs, it is first necessary to
understand the exact nature of the term, “national security,” itself.

Defining National Security

National security is described as “the entire scope of measures undertaken by the
governments of nation-states in providing assurance of national sovereignty to the
collective population of the state.”

Those same measures may include the requirement to maintain and exercise the
use of national political and economic power, the exercise of diplomacy, and military
power projection. Similarly, the late political scientist, Hans Morgenthau, author of the
book Politics Among Nations, described national security as “the integrity of the national
territory and its institutions.”

In essence, national security can be divided into two, key areas: (a) internal
national security; and (b) external national security.

Today, internal national security is focused upon ensuring the prevention of
attacks on public infrastructures, their personnel, the populace and the territory in
general, by implementing civil defense, military, intelligence, and emergency-
preparedness measures against attack from hostile forces.

This can also include utilizing counter-intelligence services to protect the nation
from internal threats sponsored from the outside. The executive authority for internal
national security is the expression of political power, preferably through the democratic
process of selecting national leaders.

As far as external national security is concerned, today it encompasses national
border-security as a means of immigration control, national environment security where
the environmental threat originates from sources external to national territory, territorial
waters and airspace, assurance of international trade safety through the state borders,
and—most paramount of all—protecting the populace from assault via potentially
aggressive overseas nations and organizations.

External national security generally requires using intelligence services to detect
and defeat, or at the very least avoid, both threats and espionage, and to protect classified
information from falling into the wrong hands.

The modern concept of national security as it is known today was introduced in
the United States shortly after the Second World War was brought to a close. It became
an Official, guiding principle of foreign policy in the United States when the National
Security Act of 1947 was signed on 26 July, 1947 by then-President Harry S. Truman.

The majority of the provisions of this Act took effect on 18 September 1947—the
day after the Senate confirmed James V. Forrestal as the first Secretary of Defense. This
act created the National Military Establishment (NME) which became known as the
Department of Defense when the act was amended in 1949.

The result was the creation of a separate Department of the Air Force from the
existing United States Army Air Forces, the subordination of the military branches to the
new cabinet level position of the Secretary of Defense, and the establishment of the
National Security Council (NSC)—a central place of coordination for national security
policy in the Executive Branch—as well as the Central Intelligence Agency, the United
States’ first peacetime intelligence agency.

Since the breakup of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, and with the
rise of terrorism, national security has had to shift its focus dramatically. Security Sector
Reform (SSR) and Security Sector Management (SSM) are both needed in many nations
and for a variety of reasons. Some are nations emerging from repressive regimes or
recovering from civil wars. Others are developing nations with weak governments where
national security sectors never existed or were never strong before. The United States saw
its own security sector overhaul with the establishment of the Department of Homeland
Security in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Needless to say, the measures adopted to maintain national security in the face of
threats to society, such as 9/11, have led to deep and ongoing discussions about the scale

19

and role of authority in matters of civil- and human-rights; as well as the erosion of civil-
rights.

For example, the highly controversial, and deeply flawed, Patriot Act has brought
some of these issues to the forefront, raising two main questions: To what extent, for the
sake of national security, should individual rights and freedoms be restricted?

And: can the restriction of the public’s right to know, for the sake of national
security, ever be fully justified? *

As far as UFOs are concerned, it seems that with respect to this latter question, a
decision to massively downplay both the phenomenon itself and its national security
implications, was implemented decades ago—and it shows no signs of being changed or
amended anytime soon.

The Coming of the Fireballs

In the latter part of the 1940s—and particularly so in 1948—a curious phenomenon was
repeatedly seen in the skies over New Mexico: strange, glowing balls of green light that
seemed to take an unhealthy amount of interest in the many defense, atomic, and military
establishments that existed in the state at the time.

As evidence of this, consider the following, written by Lt. Col. Doyle Rees of the
Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) at Kirtland Air Force Base, New
Mexico on 25 May 1950, and which was for the specific attention of Brigadier General
Joseph F. Carroll, Director of Special Investigations, USAF:

In a liaison meeting with other military and government
intelligence and investigative agencies in December 1948,
it was determined that the frequency of unexplained aerial
phenomena in the New Mexico area was such that an
organized plan of reporting these observations should be
undertaken.

The organization and physical location of units of this
District were most suitable for collecting these data,
therefore, since December 1948, this District has assumed
the responsibility for collecting and reporting basic
information with respect to aerial phenomena occurring in
this general area. °

And a large body of that so-called “basic information” was profound, to say the

very least. A Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) memorandum dated 31 January 1949
and titled Protection of Vital Installations, reveals the following:

20

During the past two months various sightings of
unexplained phenomena have been reported in the vicinity
of the Atomic Energy Commission Installation at Los
Alamos, New Mexico, where these phenomena now appear
to be concentrated [emphasis mine]. During December
1948 on the 5", 6, 7", 8", 11, 13, 14", 20", and 28"
sightings of unexplained aerial phenomena were made near
Los Alamos by Special Agents of the Office of Special
Investigations; Airline Pilots; Military Pilots; Los Alamos
Security Inspectors; and private citizens. On January 6,
1949, another similar object was sighted in the same area.

In view of the illuminating fact that Los Alamos was the birthplace of the atomic
bomb, are we seriously expected to believe that repeated—and almost nightly—
encounters with UFOs in its direct vicinity during December 1948 were dismissed as
having no relevance to national security? Yes: evidently we are expected to swallow that
absurd conclusion.

Invasion at Oak Ridge

Spread out along broad valleys cut by the Clinch River and framed by the foothills of the
Appalachian Mountains, Oak Ridge seems an unlikely setting for events that changed the
course of history. In early 1942, the Army Corps of Engineers designated a 59,000-acre
swatch of land between Black Oak Ridge to the north and the Clinch River to the south as
a federal reserve to serve as one of three sites nationwide for the development of the
atomic bomb.

No fewer than 3,000 residents received court orders to vacate—within a matter of
weeks—the homes that their families had occupied for generations. Thousands of
scientists, engineers, and workers swarmed into Oak Ridge to build and operate three
huge facilities that would change the world and usher in the atomic age.

Today, Oak Ridge has evolved from a “war emergency pilot plant,” which
operated under an overwhelming cloak of secrecy, into one of the nation’s outstanding
centers for energy, environmental, and basic scientific research and technology
development. Its institutional roots, however, lie with the awesome power released by the
splitting of the atom. 7

And it is not without profound significance to note that when secret, atomic
research at Oak Ridge was in full-swing, the installation became a veritable magnet for
countless close encounters with UFOs. Consider, for example, the following official
report generated on 2 March 1950 by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC):

21

A. There is a radar station near Knoxville which has
been in operation about 3 weeks. This radar station is being
operated by station WROL of Knoxville.

B. On | March at 2135 hours the station picked up an
object 340 degrees and 18 miles from Knoxville, altitude
40,000 feet. Direction and distance put the object directly
over [emphasis mine] Oak Ridge. AEC Security Division
Chief at Oak Ridge checked with Smyrna Air Base,
Nashville which reported it had no flight plan for any plane
in that vicinity and altitude.

G: On 2 March at 1105 station picked up object at 335
degrees and 18 miles from Knoxville, altitude 40,000 feet.
AEC Security Division Chief checked with Smyrna Air
Base with negative results. *

On the following day, 3 March, 1950, a further report surfaced:

At 2130 hours on 2" March, radar station picked up two
objects 310 degrees, altitude 80,000 feet, approximately 18
miles from Knoxville in general direction of Oak Ridge,
moving in circular motion but in opposite directions. :

And Oak Ridge continued to be a target for the mysterious intruders. An FBI
teletype of 13 October 1950 refers to the detection of a veritable squadron of unknown
objects tracked over the Oak Ridge installation at 11:25 p.m. on 12 October:

USAF radar installation at Knoxville picked up indications
of eleven objects and perhaps more traveling across
controlled area [emphasis mine] of Atomic Energy
installation at Oak Ridge...operators are experienced
reliable personnel and radar set is in perfect operating
condition. '°

But perhaps most significant of all, is the following FBI document that offers the
significant thoughts and conclusions of Oak Ridge personnel with respect to the UFO
invasions:

The opinions of the Security Division, AEC Oak Ridge;
Security Branch, NEPA [Nuclear Energy for Propulsion of
Aircraft project] Division, Oak Ridge; AEC Security
Patrol, Oak Ridge; FBI Knoxville; Air Force Radar and
Fighter Squadrons, Knoxville; and the OSI, Konxville,
Tennessee, fail to evolve an adequate explanation for

22

OBJECTS SIGHTED OVER OAK RIDGE, TENNESSEE;
however, the possibilities of practical jokers, mass hysteria,
balloons of any description, flights of birds, falling leaves,
insect Swarms, peculiar weather conditions, reflections,
flying kites, objects thrown from the ground, windblown
objects, insanity, and many other natural happenings have
been rejected because of the simultaneous witnessing of the
objects with the reported radar sightings; because of the
reliability of the witnesses; because of the detailed, similar
description of the objects seen by different persons [...] '"

As with the Green Fireball penetrations of sensitive installations such as Los
Alamos, New Mexico, from 1948 onwards, the idea that countless unknown aerial
objects invading the airspace of another atomic-energy installation—in this case, Oak
Ridge—whose work was vital to the defense of the United States, would not be
considered a matter of profound national security, whether directly or indirectly, is
manifestly absurd in the absolute extreme.

Cuba ‘67

What was certainly one of the strangest episodes in the world of UFOs and national
security surfaced in 1978, but had its origins in the airspace of Cuba more than a decade
previously. According to a “security specialist” who was assigned to the 6947th Security
Squadron at Homestead Air Force Base—a unit of the U.S. Air Force Security Service
(AFSS)—in March, 1967, the Spanish-speaking intercept operators of Detachment A at
Homestead heard Cuban air defense radar controllers report an unidentified “bogey”
approaching Cuba from the northeast.

The UFO apparently entered Cuban airspace at a height of about 10,000 meters
and “sped off’ at nearly 660 mph. Two Russian-built MIG-21 jet fighters were
scrambled, and were guided to within three miles of the UFO by Cuban ground-based
radar personnel. The flight-leader then radioed that the object appeared to be a “bright
metallic sphere with no visible markings or appendages.”

When an attempt at radio contact failed, Cuban air defense headquarters ordered
the flight leader to arm his weapons and destroy the object. The leader reported his radar
was locked onto the “bogey” and his missiles were duly armed. Only moments later,
however, the wingman “screamed” to the ground controller that his leader’s jet “had
exploded.” The wingman added that there was no smoke or flame and that his leader’s
MIG-21 had simply disintegrated. Cuban radar then reported that the UFO had quickly
accelerated, had climbed above 30,000 meters, and was last tracked heading south-
southeast towards South America. An Intelligence Spot Report was reportedly sent to the
headquarters of the National Security Agency, since AFSS and its units were under NSA
operational control.

23

UFO researcher Robert Todd sent Freedom of Information Act requests
concerning the Cuban incident to the Air Force, CIA, NSA, and the Navy between
February and July of 1978, all without success. Interestingly, on 10 March 1978, the CIA
suggested that Todd “check with the Cuban government for records on the incident.”
Todd notified both the NSA and the Air Force, on 14 July, that because neither agency
wished to cooperate, he would indeed contact the Cuban government, as per the
suggestion of the CIA. Then there came a new, intriguing development.

On 28 July 1978, between 5:30 and 6:00 P.M., Todd’s mother answered a knock
at the door of their home. Two men, one older than the other, asked for Todd; when Todd
came downstairs, both flashed identification cards that revealed them to be with the FBI.
The FBI men read Todd his rights, who waived his right to silence because he felt that he
did not have anything to hide. One of the men then began to read the espionage laws,
being careful to add that those laws carried a penalty of life in prison or death. Both
agents hinted at the possibility some indictments would be issued; although, ultimately,
that did not happen.

A discussion of the possibility that Todd’s phone was tapped arose, too. Indeed, at
one point, Todd told the agents that based on the information they had given him, it
seemed they had sufficient justification for a wiretap. Both men smiled and departed
shortly thereafter.

Todd soon filed a request with the Air Force to obtain copies of his FOIA case file
on the matter. The Executive Officer of the Air Force’s Office of the Judge Advocate
General, Colonel James Johnson, replied in a 14 September 1978 letter, stating: “You are
advised that the Air Force can neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of this statement,
nor the existence of any records concerning the incident described therein However, if
authentic, | am advised the statement would be classified Secret in its entirety.”

An unidentified flying object, a destroyed aircraft, a dead pilot, a somewhat
ominous visit to the home of a UFO investigator by the FBI, and even indications of
wiretaps: and absolutely none of these factors, singly or collectively, has a bearing upon
national security? Once again, our intelligence is insulted to an incredible degree by those
tasked with maintaining UFO secrecy. I

Iran 1976:

Without doubt one of the most profound of all UFO incidents occurred in Iranian airspace
in 1976. A document titled Now You See It, Now You Don’t! written by Captain Henry S.
Shields of the U.S. Air Force, details the whole, profound saga; the salient portions of
which I have detailed below:

Sometime in his career, each pilot can expect to encounter
strange, unusual happenings which will never be
adequately explained by logic or subsequent investigation
[...] such an episode [was] reported by two F-4 Phantom

24

crews of the Imperial Iranian Air Force during late 1976

(ited

Until 0030 on a clear autumn morning, it had been
an entirely routine night watch for the Imperial Iranian Air
Force’s Command Post in the Tehran area. In quick
succession, four calls arrived from one of the city’s suburbs
reporting a series of strange airborne objects [...]

Unable to convince the callers that they were only
seeing stars, a senior officer went outside to see for himself.
Observing an object to the north like a star, only larger and
brighter, he immediately scrambled an IIAF F-4 to
investigate [...]

When approximately 25 NM _ [nautical miles]
distant, the interceptor lost all instrumentation and
UHF/Intercom communications. Upon breaking off the
intercept and tuming towards his home base, all systems
returned to normal, as if the strange object no longer
regarded the aircraft as a threat [...]'°

The Freedom of Information Act has firmly demonstrated that numerous agencies
and departments within the U.S. military and the murky world of intelligence were
informed of the details of this particularly startling affair. Yet, once again—and despite
the fact that this particular UFO seemingly had the disturbing ability to disable the entire
instrumentation of a military aircraft—the government is content, publicly at least, to
continue to play it’s “no evidence of a threat” card.

National Security in the Woods

Late in December 1980, a series of almost science-fiction-like happenings took place in
Rendlesham Forest, a densely treed area adjacent to the joint Royal Air Force/USAF
military complex at Bentwaters-Woodbridge, Suffolk, England. Essentially, what
occurred was nothing less than the landing of a vehicle, or device, of undetermined
origins. It was seen by a variety of USAF personnel, was tracked on radar, left elevated
radiation readings in the woods, carefully avoided capture, and created a controversy that
continues to rage to this day.

That something occurred, the British Ministry of Defense has never disputed. Yet,
as I have been reminded on a number of occasions, it is the considered opinion of the
MoD that the entire matter was one lacking in any defense significance. Available official
documentation strongly suggests otherwise.

A document prepared on 13 January 1981 by the Deputy Base Commander at
RAF Woodbridge, Colonel Charles Halt, reveals some extraordinary details concerning
the series of encounters:

Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 [...] two USAF security
police patrolmen saw unusual lights outside the back gate
at RAF Woodbridge. Thinking an aircraft might have
crashed or been forced down, they called for permission to
go outside the gate to investigate [...]

The individuals reported seeing a strange glowing object in
the forest. The object was described as being metallic in
appearance and triangular in shape, approximately two or
three meters high. It illuminated the entire forest with a
white light. The object had a pulsating red light on top with
a bank(s) of blue lights underneath. The object was
hovering or on legs. As the patrolmen approach the object,
it maneuvered through the trees and disappeared [...]

The next day, three depressions 1'4” and 7” in diameter
were found where the object had been sighted on the
ground [...] Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen
through the trees. It moved about and pulsed.[...]
Immediately thereafter, three star-like objects were noticed
in the sky, two objects to the north and one to the
south...the object to the south was visible for two or three
hours and beamed down a stream of light from time to
time.

Significantly, long after this document was written, it was revealed that the
“stream of light” in question had been specifically directed at the base’s weapons-storage
area—and amid controversial rumors and allegations that the weapons in question were
nuclear in nature. This alone, of course, should be prime evidence of national security
having been compromised on a truly massive scale.

Nevertheless, the trend begun by the U.S. military in the late 1940s—namely, to
forever deny to the public that the UFO issue is one that has significant relevance to
national security—has been carefully and decisively continued by the British
Government with respect the Rendlesham Forest affair ever since. Not everyone is in
agreement, however.

The late Lord Hill-Norton, former Chief of the Defense Staff, stated with a very
high degree of justification that in relation to the incidents at Rendlesham either (A) an
object of unknown origin and intent manifested in the woods on the nights in question; or
(B) American military personnel assigned to one of the most strategically-important
Royal Air Force bases in the British Isles hallucinated, collectively and on a large scale.

26

To his dying day, Hill-Norton argued with a great deal of well-reasoned logic, either
scenario simply had to have had a bearing on national security and the defense of the
British Isles. '°

The British Government continues to disagree—at least with those of us outside
the corridors of power.

The Shawbury Triangle

In early 1993 a series of earth-shattering UFO encounters occurred in British airspace
that went on to have a profound effect on sources within both the Royal Air Force and the
Ministry of Defense—including Nick Pope, a major advocate of the idea that some UFOs
are extra-terrestrial spacecraft, and who at the time of the 1993 encounter investigated
UFOs for the MoD.

Pope says: “I arrived at the office at about 8:30 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. on the moming
of March 31, 1993, and my telephone was ringing. | picked it up and there was a police
officer on the other end making a UFO report. He was based in Devon and told me an
account of an incident that had taken place in the early hours of that particular day when
he and a colleague who had been on night patrol saw a triangular-shaped UFO at fairly-
high altitude. He said that the motion was fairly steady and that there were lights at the
edges with a fainter light in the middle.”

He continues: “Reports such as this came through thick and fast over the course of
the next week or so; more and more reports came in from police stations, the public and
local RAF stations. In fact, | would say that the total number of reports easily exceeded
one hundred.”

“The two most significant reports began at RAF Cosford in Shropshire,” Pope
explains. “This was definitely the highlight and was one of the best sighting reports |
received in my entire posting. The report itself came from a guard patrol at Cosford. They
were on duty manning entrance points, checking the perimeter fence and such like. All
the members of the patrol saw the UFO and, again, the description was pretty much the
same as most of the others. In this case, though, the UFO was at medium-to-high
altitude.”

He elaborates further: “They submitted a 2-3 page report which went up their
chain of command and then the report was forwarded on to me. In that report, they stated
that the UFO passed directly over the base and that this was of particular concern to
them. They noticed that this F/ying Triangle was heading on a direct line for RAF
Shawbury, which is some twelve-to-fifteen miles on. The main concern of the Cosford
patrol was to alert Shawbury that the UFO was coming their way; but they also wanted
confirmation that they weren’t having a mass hallucination.”

“They took a decision to call Shawbury and this was answered by the
Meteorological Officer. You have to realize that at that time there was literally just a

27

skeleton staff operating; so he was, essentially, on his own. So, he took a decision to go
outside, look in the direction of RAF Cosford and see what he could see.”

“Sure enough, he could see this light coming towards him and it got closer and
closer and lower and lower. Next thing, he was looking at this massive, triangular-shaped
craft flying at what was a height of no more than two hundred feet, just to the side of the
base and only about two hundred feet from the perimeter fence. His quote to me was that
the UFO’s size was midway between that of a C-130 Hercules and a Boeing 747 Jumbo
Jet

Moreover, Pope explains: “He said that the beam of light retracted into the craft,
which then seemed to gain a little bit of height. But then, in an absolute instant, the UFO
moved from a speed of about twenty or thirty miles per hour to a speed of several
hundreds of miles per hour — if not thousands. It just suddenly moved off to the horizon
and then out of sight in no more than a second or so — and there was no sonic boom.
Well, of course, when | received this report and the one from Cosford, | launched as full
an investigation as | possibly could.”

“T thought that this needed to go up the chain of command. The main addressee
was the Assistant Chief of the Air Staff; so what I did was to summarize the events on a
couple of sides of paper and attach the original reports.”

“He took a few days to have a look at all the paperwork and then passed it back
down the chain of command with a message that said: ‘This is extremely interesting. It is
a genuine mystery but clearly you’ve made all the checks that we could reasonably make
and it’s difficult to see how we can take this any further.” And that was essentially where
the matter rested.”

Does Nick Pope feel that the assessment of the Assistant Chief of the Air Staff
was a fair one?

“Yes and no. I felt extremely uncomfortable that we had a clear breach of the
U.K. Air Defense Region; and we had two Royal Air Force bases pretty much being
over-flown by a structured craft and yet we had nothing on radar and absolutely no
explanation. I applied our own standard line on UFOs and asked myself the questions: Is
this of no defense significance? What if the craft had been hostile? What if a bomb bay
had suddenly opened up and it had attacked these bases?”

“Tf that had been the case, and with the UFO not appearing on radar, the first we
would have known would have been when the bombs were falling. So, I came to the
conclusion that this was of extreme defense significance.”

“I’m naturally suspicious of anyone that doesn’t declare their hand; and although

there may be some very good reasons for them remaining covert, I think that from a
military and defense point of view, you have to say that there is a potential UFO threat.”

28

Even though Pope and | disagree on some aspects of the UFO controversy, he is
to be applauded for not merely sticking to the official line that UFOs do not pose a
potential threat to national security. '°

Cosmic Kidnappers

On 19 September 1961, Betty and Barney Hill, a married couple from New Hampshire,
were driving home from Canada when they were subjected to a terrifying experience,
which resulted in no less than two hours of “missing time.”

After some months of distinct emotional distress, the Hills sought assistance from
Dr. Benjamin Simon, a Boston-based psychiatrist and neurologist. Having been subjected
to time-regression hypnosis, both Betty and Barney recalled what had taken place during
the missing two hours. They gave accounts of encounters with apparent alien beings that
had taken them on-board their craft and subjected them to a variety of physical
examinations. |’

Since that fateful day, countless other individuals have reportedly undergone
similar, distressing experiences at the hands of allegedly cosmic-kidnappers. Of course,
the U.S. Government denies having ever investigated the so-called “alien abduction”
puzzle; and, therefore, has been able to carefully avoid commenting on the controversy.

The truth, however, is somewhat different.

As I reveal in my forthcoming book, Fina/ Events, at the height of the Reagan
Administration, a quasi-official think-tank, comprised of personnel from, primarily, the
Defense Intelligence Agency, U.S. Air Force and National Security Agency, was secretly
established to address the alien abduction issue.

The group—which was nicknamed the “Collins Elite’—concluded that while
many tales of abduction at the hands of extraterrestrials could be dismissed as fantasies,
dreams, delusions and hoaxes, a significant percentage could not. American citizens, the
group concluded, were being kidnapped from their beds and cars by creatures of
undetermined origin and for purposes unknown. Significantly, and of deep relevance to
this paper, the group further determined that the matter was one of profound seriousness
and had a major bearing upon national security and the safety of the populace at large.

Very controversially, and arguably as a result of the deep-seated religious beliefs
that dominated the group’s higher echelons, a disturbing conclusion was ultimately
reached in the early-to-mid 1990s: namely that the aliens were actually nothing of the
sort. Rather, they were literal demons, ingeniously masquerading as extraterrestrials, and
whose dark purpose for being among us was to instigate Armageddon, to usher in the era
of the Antichrist, and to “harvest” our souls upon death for reasons that were never fully
resolved to everyone’s satisfaction.

27.

It was these conclusions that allegedly both greatly alarmed, and deeply
emotionally affected, the collective mindset of a whole swathe of people within
government at the time—and some whose names are still well known within government
to this very day.

Of course, the conclusion of the Collins Elite was merely a theory and nothing
else. The important factor at work, however, is that regardless of the origin of the cosmic-
kidnappers, their actions were perceived by the Collins Elite as having a major bearing
upon national security. '*

Beware the Alien Virus

According to Article LX of The Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities
of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon
and Other Celestial Bodies, that was collectively signed at Washington,
London, and Moscow on 27 January 1967, and that was entered into force
on 10 October of that year:

In the exploration and use of outer space, including
the Moon and other celestial bodies, States Parties
to the Treaty shall be guided by the principle of co-
operation and mutual assistance and shall conduct
all their activities in outer space, including the
Moon and other celestial bodies, with due regard
to the corresponding interests of all other States
Parties to the Treaty. States Parties to the Treaty
shall pursue studies of outer space, including the
Moon and other celestial bodies, and conduct
exploration of them so as to avoid their harmful
contamination and also adverse changes in the
environment of the Earth resulting from the
introduction of extraterrestrial matter and, where
necessary, shall adopt appropriate measures for
this purpose. '

The possibility that “harmful contamination” of the earth and its people might
result on a large and catastrophic scale following the introduction of “extraterrestrial
matter” into our environment is one that, perhaps more than any other, should be
considered an issue of extreme national security.

And perhaps no-one is more learned on this particularly controversial topic than

Dr. Robert Wood—father of Majic Eyes Only author Ryan Wood—whose forthcoming
book, Jn Search of the Alien Viruses, is packed with documents, some officially

30

declassified and others provided via other means, and witness testimony suggesting that
senior personnel at Fort Detrick, Maryland, have for decades been secretly, and deeply,
engaged in the study of lethal alien viruses—uncovered as a result of a number of UFO
crashes within the United States and elsewhere. The purpose: possibly to try and create
the ultimate weapon of biological warfare. 7°

Of course, this is a matter of deep controversy; and one that has as many
supporters as it does detractors. Nevertheless, such assertions abound. Several years ago,
for example, | interviewed a man named Will who was stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana
in the 1960s, and who claimed deep, insider knowledge of an alleged UFO crash in a
southeast Texas forest called the Big Thicket.

According to Will, those present at the crash site of what was a very small,
spherical-shaped UFO were dressed from head-to-foot in hazmat-type suits. The reason
being that at the recovery sites of other, very similar spheres—one of which was said to
have been found at an undisclosed location in Arizona in 1958, and the other at Taos,
New Mexico in 1961—several members of the recovery teams were overcome by nausea
and dizziness; and at least two later died of a “flesh-eating virus—kind of like Ebola.” *'

If there is any truth to these accounts, and if both UFOs and their occupants may
be considered biologically hazardous to the Human Race, then only a complete simpleton
would deny a national security component to the controversy.

Conclusions

You will have noted a curious trend that runs throughout entire the body of this paper.
Time and again, I have cited cases of profound significance where UFOs have repeatedly
appeared in locations that have had, and in some cases continue to have, a major bearing
on national security: namely, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and RAF Bentwaters and
Woodbridge, to name but four.

Is it really acceptable and reasonable to believe that over-flights of sensitive
installations engaged in secret atomic-energy research by aerial vehicles of unknown
origin is not something that should provoke deep concern?

No, it is neither acceptable nor reasonable—at all.

It is utterly outrageous on the part of the official world to assume that misleading
the general public for sixty years on not just the existence of UFOs, but with respect to
the national security considerations that the subject provokes, too, can somehow be
justified.

In addition, the “alien abduction” and “alien virus” aspects of the phenomenon

offer further justification for concluding that UFOs, and the intelligences behind them,
offer a significant pofential threat to national security—whether deliberately or not.

31

And on this latter point, it is worth noting that while the interest in our military,
defense, and scientific installations that the UFO intelligences exhibit may possibly be for
reasons relating to curiosity about our advancing technology - as well as concerns about
our ability to now venture forth into the Solar System—to deny that this in any way has a
bearing on national security is reckless in the extreme.

Indeed, we would do well to reflect on Nick Pope’s words on this very same
issue: “I’m naturally suspicious of anyone that doesn’t declare their hand; and although
there may be some very good reasons for them remaining covert, I think that from a
military and defense point of view, you have to say that there is a potential UFO threat.”

If only those tasked with maintaining the secrecy surrounding the subject did not
insult us, the people, by denying the almost-certain-fact that they are secretly in
accordance with the views of Pope.

The Westport UFO Crash Retrieval Event:
James E. Clarkson
Copyright 2008 James E. Cllarkson

Introduction —

If you commit a crime, time is on your side. Time is almost always the enemy of
investigation. Evidence deteriorates or is misplaced, accidentally or deliberately.
Witnesses move away, forget, or pass on. Time makes it less likely anyone will care to
dig for the truth.

In opposition to this concept, the law recognizes a principle in crimes such as murder
called “inevitability of discovery."’ Nothing is ever truly lost or hidden when it comes to
very significant events. Hopefully, this may be true of all UFO Crash Retrievals.
Certainly, the Retrieval aspect implies there must be witnesses somewhere even if they
are restricted by governmental regulations. But what about witnesses from the
communities nearest the Crash?

If a UFO crashes and is secretly recovered by the military, and various aspects of the
recovery operation are witnessed by credible members of the surrounding community,
how can it be said the event never happened?

This story has been called the Elk River UFO Crash or the Westport Crash Retrieval
Event. The primary event occurred on Sunday night, November 25, 1979 at about 10:50
pm in the vicinity of the Elk River Bridge” on SR-105 about 4 miles out from Westport
in Grays Harbor County in Washington State.

The way I became aware of the Westport Crash Retrieval Event, or the Elk River UFO
Crash, is a reminder of what may be going on all around us at any time, extraordinary
events unfolding that escape our scrutiny because we are distracted by the mundane.

On the southwest coast of Washington State, Westport is about 26 miles from Aberdeen
where I completed a 20-year career as a police officer. In 1979, I was a rookie patrolman
who didn’t see much daylight. I also didn’t read the local newspaper. Had I done so on
November 26, 1979, I would have seen this intriguing headline:

The headline would have inevitably lured me to investigate. Almost 35 years of my work
has been related to investigations mostly in the criminal justice field. I have held several
titles in my working life: military police investigator, reserve deputy sheriff, correctional
officer, police officer, patrol sergeant, detective sergeant, and now fraud investigator.

35

The same drive that made me an effective investigator has also drawn me to deeper
questions. The more evidence there is that something has been hidden, the more I want to
have the explanation or the reason why.

When I was 13 years old I heard a radio program where John G. Fuller described the now
famous UFO encounters of police officers and citizens from Exeter, New Hampshire.”* I
remained fascinated and intensely curious. I knew there was something much deeper and
more significant than the facile explanations of weather balloons and swamp gas. My
desire for the truth about UFOs predated and then paralleled my work as a career
investigator.

Something always drew me back to the Mystery of UFOs—why so many credible people
have experiences with the incredible, and why those experiences are then ridiculed,
ignored and dismissed. More to the point, what would it mean if human beings are not the
most intelligent life form in the universe?

This article is about one story, but it is significant because it illustrates so well what has
happened in other Crash Retrieval Events. This exploration of the Westport UFO Crash
Retrieval will hopefully paint the picture of the crash of a mysterious object, a military
covert response, and demonstrate how it is possible to glimpse the truth behind rumor and
official denial.

What follows is what I discovered when I explored events that began at about 2250 hours
on Sunday, November 25, 1979 when an unknown object descended from the skies over
Grays Harbor County on the southwest coast of Washington State and crashed in the
forest south of the Elk River Bridge on SR 105.4

The Investigation Begins —

For almost 8 years I was unaware of the Westport Crash, though it happened less than 30
miles from Aberdeen where I lived and worked. It was 1987 before I was established
enough in the law enforcement community to openly debate the subject of UFOs. This
prompted my fellow officers to describe what they had experienced or learned from
others about this subject. Outside of the law enforcement community, the deputies and
police officers I knew would say nothing to make anyone suspect—they held
unconventional opinions or knew “someone reliable who saw something.” That’s when I
heard “something crashed in the woods by Westport.”

The initial Crash story lacked a date and definite witnesses; it was a story repeated by
several officers when the subject of UFOs arose. All of the accounts focused on the
Andrews Creek / Elk River area outside of Westport. The Crash happened in 1979. The
accounts included a military response—the cordoning of the logging roads leading into
the site, covert removal and official denial. There were also rumors of “‘Jittle bodies” and
other details that sounded as if they were liberally drawn from the Roswell case.

36

On April 14, 1987, I interviewed Sergeant Larry Sweet from the Grays Harbor County
Jail. | only knew him from turning over prisoners at the jail, but by reputation, Larry was
dependable and calm. He lived in the Westport area most of his life, and now that he has
retired from over 20 years service with the Sheriff's office, he still lives in the area.

Grays Harbor County and the South Beach area in particular is populated by fishermen
and loggers. They work hard and play rough. Their personal fortunes rise or fall on
whether the fishing is good or if the timber industry is boom or bust this year.

In 1979 Larry Sweet worked as a shake-block cutter. If you were strong you could make
decent wages logging or cutting shake blocks when the fishing wasn’t quite as good. He
remembers what happened when he tried to go to his work site in the woods on Monday
about 8 hours after the Crash.

The logging roads were blocked by military jeeps and soldiers. He commented that he
wasn’t sure if they were regular soldiers or MP’s. He recalled seeing olive-drab vehicles
to include semi-vans. He believes they left in the middle of the night. His account 1s
particularly valuable because he stated that he personally spoke with one of the guards
blocking the access roads. The guard stated, “Maneuvers are going on and the public is
being kept out for their own safety.”

He also knew all of the rumors that flew around the communities of Westport and
Grayland at the time of the crash, that something had crashed and burned up, that some
people had “snuck into the area and got close.”

The Mysterious Sgt. Robertson —

My next interview provided a wealth of information but raised more questions; I
interviewed one of the most professional and well-liked supervisors, Sgt. Robbie
Robertson from the Sheriff's Office. Although friendly and easy-going there was a
deeper side to the man: he was a former Navy SEAL and he was still in the reserves for
Coast Guard Intelligence.

37

Law enforcement supervisors seem to come in two varieties: those who will do just about
anything to further their own career and those who lead by serving the public and their
officers. Robbie was one of the latter. In 1979 there were no 911 call centers; each
agency had its own dispatchers and radio procedures were sometimes loose. | remember
the night Sergeant Robbie read The Night before Christmas over the county channel at
midnight.

Robertson took a direct interest in the November 25, 1979 Crash by Elk River. He
pointed out that the descriptions of the crashed object varied, but there was no doubt it
was a locally spectacular event.”° These are some of the descriptions he recalled the night
the dispatch center was flooded with calls:

e Small plane

¢ Much larger plane

e Round, disc-shaped object

e Reports of a falling, smoking object

e Reports of a “Ball of Fire.”

e Some said it had propellers; some said it did not.

At the time there was a club for four-wheel drive enthusiasts in Westport. Sgt. Robertson
asked them to conduct an “unofficial search.” It is important to note this search effort did
not commence until three to four days after the Crash.

The searchers did not find the military. They did find numerous people who claimed to
have been stopped by men in camouflage uniforms. Some people claimed to have been
turned away at gunpoint. There were no reports of any large numbers of troops on the
logging roads, just “Avo” or “several.”

Sometime afterwards Robertson recalled stopping at a Westport Café. He met a Navy
SEAL team off-duty. This is not that unlikely due to the proximity of the Pacific Beach
Naval Facility just north of Ocean Shores across Grays Harbor from Westport.”°
Although he had been a SEAL, Robertson related the SEALS were true to their security
restrictions; they would not talk about the Westport Crash, at least not directly.

One of the SEALS reminded Robertson of one of their basic duties, to respond to any
body of water in the USA to secure and recover “downed aircraft of special interest.” He
added one of the SEALS winked when he talked to him. His impression was they knew
more about the event than they were willing to disclose.

Sergeant Robertson believed the entire incident was a SEAL maneuver and the object
was in fact a Huey Helicopter firing up its turbines. He was skeptical about the theory
that something had crashed and been recovered, but he had no evidence or testimony to
disprove it. He pointed out that SEALS work on secret missions for any agency. They are

38

supposed to be able to respond 4-6 hours to anywhere in the coastal U.S. They are trained
for rescuing occupants of water-downed aircraft.

In 2008, in preparation for this presentation | attempted to contact Robbie Robertson now
retired. | spoke with some of his former fellow deputies who now work for the State of
Washington. I was unable to find his address, but | did verify what I had heard about his
last assignment.

He retired as the Chief of Police for Annapolis, MD.”’ I wrote an introductory letter and
sent it via the Maryland Chiefs of Police Association. An executive secretary sent the
letter to him. Either somehow he did not read it, or he chose not to respond. I don’t have
an explanation beyond speculation.

More Witnesses are Identified —

In 1987, Don Johnson, the MUFON State Director, and Robert Gribble, the retired
Seattle firefighter, who had created the National UFO Reporting Center™* passed on the
names of people who had called NUFORC right after the Crash. This list included Larry
Lake and Bert Dinius as local witnesses, and John Dodge, a reporter from the Aberdeen
Daily World.

I also met Sandra White, the widow of a Westport fishing boat captain. She recalled an
unusual conversation with four of her husband’s former crew members on December 12,
1979, four days after her husband had died. The subject of the Crash came up and she
learned they had tried to get into the area with their 4x4’s right after it happened. They
were stopped by soldiers who politely turned them around. She described them as “rowdy
young men” who weren’t likely to accept being told not to enter an area where they had
poached deer and partied for years. The maze of half-overgrown logging roads was just
about literally their backyard.

The young men told Mrs. White they tried to sneak back into the area at night on foot, but
they were caught almost immediately. She emphasized how surprised they were at being
caught so easily. This time they were told it “would be their responsibility if something
happened.” The soldiers were armed with submachine guns and side arms. The man who
did the talking wore a cap while the others wore helmets.

Sandra White added that about four months later she spoke with a man named Kerry
Broten who worked with her at Coastal Oyster Company. He had been living in a rental
house and he claimed he had seen something “oblong with rounded ends” suspended
from a large military helicopter with twin rotors. The suspended object being flown out
of the area was described as large with a covering over the top with a “highly reflective
bottom.” (Unfortunately, Mr. Broten did not want to be interviewed by a UFO researcher
who was also an Aberdeen cop.)

Larry Lake—

39

Larry Lake was a reluctant witness, but not initially. On November 25, 1979 at 2256
hours Mr. Lake telephoned the Westport Police Department and reported:

He was just returning from Aberdeen, coming over the Elk River Bridge, when a bright
light came from his right, crossed over the bridge and headed towards the mudflats. Saw
what appeared to be an explosion (the bright light resembled a landing light), had rolled
down his window and didn’t hear any noise.

The police log goes on to state the call was referred to a Deputy Sheriff since it occurred
in the county. It ends with a statement that there were no reports of missing aircraft.

Burt Dinius, a well known painter of scenes of the Old West, also had taken a great
interest in the mysterious Crash. He contacted retired Westport Police Chief John Regan
who provided a copy of the police journal. At the time of the Crash, Larry Lake was an
employee of Burt Dinius at the Westport Shipyard.

Despite knowing each other well, Larry Lake told his boss he could not talk about the
Crash because “he was told by government people to say nothing.” Mr. Lake declined
my interview.

On June 10, 1987, Bert Dinius called to report he had at least gotten Larry Lake to state
he believed the object that crashed had landed in the Elk River drainage. Lake mentioned
Gordon Graham and Darry! Graham as possible witnesses. He told his former boss he
had also heard there had been military police checkpoints on the roads leading into the
Elk River area.

According to Bert Dinius, Larry Lake had decided to speak with him because he had
watched a Seattle TV program called Town Meeting about UFO’s and he became angry
after he listened to a debunker.

Donald Betts—

On June 14, 1987, Donald Betts, a 67 year old area resident completed a MUFON
sighting report at my request. He was driving from Westport to Aberdeen. He described
seeing what he thought was a “falling meteor very bright” and then added he believed he

Deputy Paul Wenzel and His Son —

While speaking to the local law enforcement officers, I learned the 18 year old son of
resident Deputy Wenzel, Paul, had been sitting home watching TV in his Westport
residence when he looked out the front window of his home and saw something
extraordinary on Sunday night, November 25, 1979.

Paul Wenzel reported seeing ‘“‘an unknown-shaped object with a large red tail coming
down, out of power, falling.” Not long afterwards, | interviewed a witness who lived 20
miles away and her description included a similar perception—the unknown object was
falling and out of power.

Library Archives Provide More Leads—

The Aberdeen Library provided copies of five newspaper articles all related to the events
beginning on November 25, 1979:

1. November 26, 1979 — UFO Wreckage in Elk River? By Reporter John Dodge.
Page | story about initial report; several witnesses observe object arrive and
explode on impact. No aircraft reported missing.

2. November 27, 1979 — Air Force Interested in UFO No byline. Scott AFB in
Illinois declared search official because of “so many sightings in the area.”
Identifies witness Estella Krussel of Central Park who gave detailed account.
Article identifies motorist witnesses Mrs. Ralph Case in Central Park and Emest
Hayes in Elma reporting. Mrs. Case reports one side of the object was on fire.

3. November 28, 1979 — Search Called Off for UFO by Bryn Beorse. Search by

Civil Air Patrol yields no results. “Helicopter exhaust flame” promoted as
explanation. Confirmation of no missing aircraft, military or civilian.

42

4. November 29, 1979 — More UFO Sightings Here and in Centralia by Bryn

Beorse. Radio KITI of Centralia reports receiving report of large, slow moving
illuminated UFO with lots of lights.”’ Helicopters exhaust theory with addition,
landing lights on, repeated and then refuted by military and civilian pilots. Claim
that it may have been a Perseid meteor; refuted by college astronomy instructor.

5. December 14, 1979 — UFO Rumors Abound, but Very Little Else By Betty
Butler. Brief restatement of story and then denial by military.

Mrs. Ralph Case was a passenger with her husband driving westbound on State Route 12
by Central Park about 4 miles east of Aberdeen and about 20 air miles from the estimated
impact area. She observed what she thought was “a plane with one side on fire.” The
fiery object arrived from behind them and passed through her field of view and was last
seen headed in the direction of Westport. She reported her sighting at about 2250 hours to
air traffic control at Bowerman airfield in Hoquiam, the city adjacent to Aberdeen to the
west.

Ernest Hayes of Aberdeen was also driving westbound on State Route 12 by Elma, WA;
some 20 miles east of Aberdeen, observed a very bright green flash pass overhead. He
reported his sighting to the county sheriff dispatcher at about 2300 hours.

Estella Krussel—

The second Aberdeen Daily World article led me to a key witness, Estella Krussel, who
paid close attention to the strange object that passed over her home on that Sunday night
in November 1979. She was 64 years old when I interviewed her in April 1987. I went to
her Central Park home and she sat in the same chair across from her TV in front of the
large west-facing windows where she observed the UFO.

I went through her recollection of events three times: after chatting with her, she related
what she observed, a second time where I| took notes, and then a third time when I typed

43

what she described. She was watching the movie Oh God! And she didn’t get to see the
last few minutes because she went to the window to get a better look at the spectacle
outside.

She observed an unknown aircraft pass over her home; she thought it was something like
a passenger airliner because of the illuminated windows. It had a cigar shape, bigger in
the front and narrower towards the back. An intense blue-white light was shining from
each of the windows. It glided overhead and she remarked, “/t was out of power.”

The UFO passed from high and to the right, from the northeast and when it went out of
view it was headed lower and to the left to the southwest. After the sighting she reported
what she had seen to her family. She believed the sighting lasted for almost a minute.

In preparation for this presentation I asked my daughter Carolyn, an art major to study
Estella Krussel’s statement and attempt to reconstruct what she observed.

Figure 9 Artist's reconstruction Krussel UFO
When I interview witnesses | pay close attention to eye contact and the emotional tone of
their voices when they recall key events. Estella Krussel was clearly awestruck by the
strange aircraft that glided over her home. She was 57 years old in 1979. She was also
credible and articulate. She could be sworn in as a witness in any court.

When we were done with her statement, she added, “Y knew they were in trouble.” The
way she said it, I felt as if she had paid such close attention to the UFO she was somehow
mentally linked to it.

44

In the 1980s | also lived in Central Park located about 4 miles east of Aberdeen. | agree
with Estella Krussel. Helicopters and small planes were seen routinely day and night in
the vicinity. Bowerman Airfield in Hoquiam is also an emergency airfield for McCord
Air Force Base. A normal aircraft passing overhead at night would not attract any
attention.

Gordon Graham and Lance Graham —

On May 18, 1987, | interviewed Gordon Graham at his home. He heard about the Crash
from Donald Betts. Since he had worked in the woods in the area for many years, he tried
to drive into the area from Grayland and was “turned around” at a military checkpoint.
He recognized the Harnden boys leaving the area as he was trying to enter. This was 3 to
4 days after the Crash.

Gordon Graham gave details about the local geography. He stated he drove to the bridge
over the Elk River and then went about three quarters of a mile beyond to what was
known as the Elk River logging camp. In his written statement Gordon Graham described

what happened when he arrived at the old logging camp:

“Evervbody knows it as the Elk River Logging Camp. I saw four military weapons
carriers. There were at least ten soldiers there. They had the road blocked. They told us
to get out of there. They didn't say it very politely either.”

Figure 10 Elk River Bridge on A-Line Logging Road
I recently visited the area described by Gordon Graham. The wooden bridge has been
replaced with concrete. However, many of the old logging roads have been blocked off
permanently by the Department of Natural Resources as part of establishing a Natural
Resources Conservation Area (4,362 acres).

: i

Exactly three quarters of a mile beyond the bridge is a location that would be ideal for a
checkpoint if your goal was to block access to the entire area. Three roads converge at

one point.

45

Ph See Pee h SA aE aA Sats :
Figure 1] Possible location of checkpoint .75 miles from bridge
The entire area has been logged repeatedly over time. There are still a few old growth
cedar stumps over six feet in diameter. A century ago the logs were removed by rail and
then floated down the Elk River. When the railroads were gone the area was networked
with numerous temporary (and some permanent) logging roads.

About one month after | interviewed Gordon Graham, one of his sons, Lance Graham,
called me with additional information. He recalled being in John’s River Lodge, a tavern
on SR 105 nearest the John’s River Road and the entrance to the logging roads leading
into the Elk River area from the north. He said someone came into the tavern and told
everyone “something had crashed and the military was up there.”’ He claimed he went
out looking but found nothing.

Then he added not long after he observed “some sort of helicopter carrying something
beneath it,” but he did not have any more details when I pressed him. Lance Graham was
not the only area resident who talked about unusual military helicopter activity.

Henry Harnden, Andy Harnden and Other Witnesses —

Henry Harnden, 52 years old in 1987, was another area resident who claimed he was
“threatened and run out of the area by troops.”’ He added he spoke with one of the
soldiers who identified himself as part of a “special division from Georgia.”

Mr. Harnden was also one of the first people I contacted who identified “7uffy”’ Miller as
a key witness. He said Tuffy went to school with his son, Andy. He claimed Tuffy Miller
discovered the object first, bragged to everyone, and then, interestingly, wouldn’t talk
about ever again.

A week later on May 13, 1987, I spoke with his son, Andy Harnden who was 23 years

old then. His recollection was much more specific: on Wednesday of the week after the
Crash (November 28, 1979), he tried to get into the area twice. Both times he was not
only stopped but the soldiers insisted upon searching his pickup truck. He also said one of
the soldiers claimed to be part of a special unit from Georgia.

46

The second time one of the soldiers made a call on a radio and then he was told they
would shoot him if he came back.

On Thursday or Friday he recalled seeing two military ‘sky cranes” flying over his house
headed for the Crash area at about 5:00 pm. The next morning he went into the area with
two of his friends in their pickup trucks. The military was gone and the roads were open.

According to Andy Harnden, he went to Ocosta High School with Tuffy Miller. Tuffy
was out of school for seven days at the time of the Crash. When he came back, Andy
asked him about the Crash because everyone was talking about it.

Tuffy Miller told him, “You’'// read about it. I can't talk about it. It’s really something.”
Tuffy claimed he shot a roll of film, but “they stole my g-damned camera!”

Miller’s family ran a gravel pit. Supposedly the gravel pit was not far from the Crash site.
More interestingly, the Miller family was described as having money problems until this

event; however, Miller’s family bought a new pickup truck and a brand new gravel truck

at about the same time as the Crash.

On June |, 1987, I spoke with a relative of Mr. Miller, Lavonne Willis. She referred to
him as Kenny. She stated, “He was telling everyone about it, and then he would not say
anything.”

She was also aware Don Betts had seen the object descend and crash south of the Bay
City Bridge. But what her son, Shannon reported may help to paint the details of just how
seriously this event was being taken by military officials.

Her son lived on Seacrest Lane near the Westport State Park. At about the same date as
the Crash her son watched an unmarked official-looking sedan pull up to a telephone
booth near his home. He watched a man who looked to be a high-ranking officer use the
telephone briefly and then depart. The point of this anecdote is that he never observed
anyone like that before or since; these types of statements help corroborate the larger
reconstruction of what occurred after the Crash.

What Happened to “Tuffy” Miller?

The city of Westport and the surrounding unincorporated communities of Grayland,
Ocosta, Markham and Bay City may be generally described as close-knit and places
where some of the young people grow and move away, but many graduate from high
school together and then live in the same area for years, working the timber or fishing
jobs. This was certainly bore out by this investigation, and reflected in the community
culture of Aberdeen where I worked as a police sergeant.

For some reason not yet revealed, Ken “Tuffy” Miller was identified repeatedly as the
witness who knew the most about the Westport UFO Crash. The story varied slightly, but

47

always focused on the gravel pit run by his family in close proximity to the Crash, and
how Tuffy got into the area first and actually saw the object. In one version he
photographed it and then had his camera taken away by the military.

I wish I had the answer; I don’t. I attempted to interview Ken Miller after having spoken
with his friends and relatives in the community. His answer in 1987 was, “J didn't go up
there. I did not see it, and 1 don’t know why anyone would use my name.”

In preparation for this presentation I called him at the same telephone number and I spoke
with his wife. She stated he was away and sometimes works 6 to 7 days a week. She
recalled the Crash and she promised to ask him if he had anything else to tell me after so
much time has gone by.

Just Helicopter Exhaust?

The prevailing official explanation for the Westport UFO Crash at the time was a faulty
exhaust on a helicopter whose pilot may have accidentally left the landing light on. Bill
Langford, the Grays Harbor County Emergency Services Director, was quick to report he
had a theory given with the blessing of the Civil Air Patrol — Helicopter, Hughes 500 or
Bell Jet Ranger have “powerful landing lights,” and “fiery exhaust flame from a stack 4-
5 inches across.”

It turned out Army and commercial pilots disputed the official explanation. Army
helicopter pilot Warrant Officer Clarence Hendricks stated, “Exhaust glow is minor in
flight.” Lee Hayman, Washington Helicopter Service, stated succinctly, “There are few
commercial flights in the area; no exhaust seen. The craft appear dark and don’t have
exhaust glow.”

| had a lengthy discussion with Budd Carroll—an experienced pilot with the Washington
Helicopter Service. I asked him to theorize about what on a helicopter could emit fire and
would allow the helicopter to keep flying for over 30 miles, attracting attention along the
way. Mr. Carroll said the only thing he could think of was the turbine oil, but it is
manufactured to have a high ignition point (800 degrees F). He was quick to point out,
“The turbine runs on 3 to 4 quarts. If you lost very much at all, you won’t be in the air
long.”

As a patrol officer with a need to watch the skies, | have been outdoors for many hours
and I’ve looked at helicopters and other aircraft flying in the vicinity of Grays Harbor. I
have never seen a helicopter flying at night where there was any question about what I
was seeing. I have also stood by when patients were evacuated by helicopter from the
Jocal hospital.

I went through the entire presentation of the Westport Crash with a friend who pilots
intercontinental passenger jets. He stated the Helicopter Theory made no sense, and he
also added anything that burned that visibly wouldn’t stay in the air that long.

It is possible Bill Langford, Emergency Services Director, was pressured to concoct a

quick conventional explanation for the Crash. It is equally possible he wanted to quell the
growing public curiosity about the mysterious flaming object that crossed over most of
the county and ended its descent by the Elk River. As is often the case in UFO cases
where there is extensive public attention, the explanation offered by the authorities ends
up looking like a cheap band aid on an active toddler.

Officer Fred Bradshaw —Witness to Unusual Military
Activity

On June 22, 1987, I interviewed Elma Police Officer Fred Bradshaw at his residence. He
referred to his notes from the time of the Crash. He was very interested in the Crash and
kept notes. He recalled it had occurred on a Sunday night.

Two to three days (Tuesday or Wednesday, November 27 or 28, 1979) later he was off-
duty with his family on SR 105 near the Ocosta Bargain Barn headed for Aberdeen. He
observed an Army “/ow-boy truck with a boom,” two “deuce and half’s,” and two jeeps
headed towards the Grayland area. He stated the low-boy truck had a white star and
numbers on the door.

He had never seen military vehicles on the highway before in the area. His observation of
the military convoy also stood out in his mind because he had heard of the reports at the
Sheriff's Office and the Elma Police Department of people reporting the roads blocked
by the military in the area of Elk River.

Alan Rammer Sees the Other Search Party—

The Westport UFO Crash Retrieval Investigation would have remained a two-inch file
folder in a drawer. In 1987 I was a full-time police officer and a father with small
children. Don Johnson, the State Director who offered help, left the State. I was going
through my own person struggles, balancing law enforcement with home and family, and
trying to find time for other interests.

I fell into one of the traps faced by all investigators—I quit too soon. The Latin root of
investigation is investigare meaning “to follow a path or trail.” There is a critical
difference between letting the evidence guide you to a reasonable conclusion, and
deciding to go no further because you have become weary or distracted by a convenient
explanation. Apathy may be the worst form of corruption; it is when you are investigating
anything—a murder, a fatal traffic accident, or a crashed UFO certainly.

There was one more witness, one who had reported other UFO’s, and they arrived the
night after the Crash. In 2008 when I reviewed all the evidence, I realized the true
significance of his encounter.

Alan Rammer, a professional biologist, sent a letter in response to the Aberdeen Daily
World newspaper article of July 26, 1987. °° At the time I did not know the extent of his

49

professional background, and admittedly, | did not consider the true significance of his
report. He completed a MUFON sighting report and he drew a basic diagram of the
mysterious lights he observed from the area of John’s River, about 3 to 4 miles east of the
Bay City Bridge on State Route 105.

Figure 13 Alan Rammer's Letter
I attended last year’s Crash Retrieval Conference with my wife, Joanne. When I met her
in 1993 she was Children’s Librarian for the Timberland Regional Library System, and I
was the Detective Sergeant at Aberdeen PD; we were nicknamed Officer Friendly and
the Story Lady. Part of her duties included providing interesting programs for children
and young adults.

One of the most popular programs was a hands-on presentation about the wide variety of
sea life in Puget Sound. The program presenter was Alan Rammer; he has worked for the
last 25 years on public outreach programs for the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) of Washington State.

My wife asked to read my Westport UFO Crash file after last year’s conference. She told
me Alan Rammer is well known as one of the most knowledgeable and well-respected
marine biologists in the State.*' What jumped out at me was a detail I had overlooked
before; his sighting was a separate but clearly related event to the Crash at 10:50 pm on
Sunday, November 25, 1979.

That is how Alan Rammer became a dinner guest at my home on January 18, 2008. He is

what any experienced investigator would call an ideal witness: he is highly articulate,
logical, and very careful about the conclusions he draws. He is also consistent over time.

51

One of the methods of improving a witness interview is go over all of the events
surrounding the event that you are really targeting with the investigation. This makes the
description of an event flow in the recollection of the witness: if they recall seemingly
unrelated activities on the date in question, the investigator learns how a witness came to
be in the right place at the ght time.

Alan Rammer and I looked at a calendar for 1979. He went through his daily routine; he
was working out of the Aberdeen DNR office and commuting to his home in Westport.
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, he went to an aerobic class at an Aberdeen
Health Club before making the 26 mile drive to Westport along SR-105. This meant he
would have been in the area of John’s River at about 8:30 to 9:00 pm. After discussing
more details, we were both satisfied his sighting had occurred on Monday, November
26,** the day after the Crash.

His drive was normal until he saw glowing lights coming in a line from the direction of
Grayland. There was one bright light in the front followed by 4 or 5 white spheres of
light. The large orb of light was three to four times larger than the smaller ones.

The sight was so strange and spectacular he pulled over to pay closer attention. He got
out of his car as did the occupants of two other vehicles, one driven by a young woman
with a baby, and the other by an elderly couple.

The smaller spheres of light moved erratically around the larger orb. Alan Rammer said it
reminded him of “a mother hen gathering her chicks.’’ Then the smaller orbs of light
shot off in all directions at a very high velocity. The last object to leave was the large orb
of light. It shot off north over the bay and it was gone. Alan Rammer described the
departure speed of the objects as “fantastic.”

Right after the orbs of light departed Alan Rammer and the other motorists spoke briefly
questioning each other as to what they had just witnessed. He thought at first they must
have been military helicopters, but he emphasized nothing conventional can move that
erratically or that fast. What also stuck in his mind is that although the strange orbs of
light arrived together, they shot off in all different directions.

Alan Rammer stated he is certain he witnessed something extraordinary. He was so

convinced he said he stands on what he reported and he stated he was perfectly willing to
be identified.

Conclusions—

There were numerous witnesses to the arrival of a fiery object in Grays Harbor County,
WA on November 25, 1979 at about 10:50 pm.

The unknown object impacted, and may have exploded somewhere in the Elk River
drainage area, possibly in the marshy, mudflats or in the adjacent thick forest.

52

The unknown object was illuminated in such a spectacular way before the Crash it
attracted the attention of drivers as far as 33 miles from the impact location.

There were probably many more official reports in 1979 than were available in 1987
because the files had been purged.

The official explanation of “helicopter exhaust glow” lacks a factual basis and was
contradicted by pilots both military and civilian. Whatever the true nature of the fiery
object, it did not fly like, or appear as a helicopter.

The descriptions given by the witnesses on the highway by Elma, Central Park and the
Elk River Bridge appear to involve an object descending from a fairly high altitude,
possibly falling.

Estella Krussel and Tim Wenzel independently observed the object from their residences
and commented how the object appeared to be “out of power." Tim Wenzel could not
discern a shape or details.

On first analysis the observations of Estella Krussel would appear inconsistent with those
of the other witnesses. However, it was very apparent the event created a powerful
memory in the mind of Estella Krussel based upon the conviction she expressed when |
interviewed her. It may be also possible her sense of time was altered by the intensity of
the event. | have encountered witnesses to violent events or survivors of automobile
crashes who describe a sense of s/ow motion when they are intensely focused on what is
occurring.

The military involvement in the Crash could have originated from a number of bases in
the area. Fort Lewis, WA and McCord AFB are adjacent to each other and not far away.
A compelling argument could be made the Crash on November 25, 1979 was the result of
something, a missile or a satellite being accidentally released or shot down near these
military bases. However, no evidence has been located to directly support this theory.

..' os

53

If Sgt. Robertson was correct in his theory of a Navy SEAL response to the Crash, a
SEAL team and additional personnel could have been sent from the nuclear submarine
base at Bangor near Bremerton, Washington a distance of about 80 miles.

Given the local culture of the Westport area, where young men considered the logging
roads to be their home territory, the soldiers assigned to secure the Crash Zone may have
found it was more of a difficult task than they first thought. This might explain why one
person was politely told that “maneuvers were being conducted in the area” and
requested to leave, but someone persistent like Andy Harnden was told to get out, and if
he returned, he would be shot.

After reviewing the statements made about the military presence, it appears the retrieval
operation was in progress at the time of the Crash. | base this on statements by area
residents who claim the roads were already blocked on Monday morning after the Crash.
This would also reinforce the conclusion the truth about why the Crash was classified,
either to avoid a disclosure about classified technology, or because the proximity of the
Crash to the population in and around Westport would have been a public relations
nightmare.

The official denial is meaningless. Secrecy and denial are so commonplace that it is hard
to take an official statement seriously. When Major Ralph Paduano told the Daily World
Reporter, “We're certainly not guarding anything in the Elk River area,” on December
14, 1979, 20 days after the Crash, he was being clearly disingenuous, almost mocking.
It’s unfortunate the journalist did not remember the words of Benjamin Franklin when he
said, “Half the truth is often a great lie.”

Perhaps a better question for the military would have been, would you tell the
public the truth if you did recover something that crashed in the Elk River basin?

If I have convinced the reader to conclude as I have, that Alan Rammer is a highly
credible witness to a highly strange event, then it appears whatever crashed by the Elk
River may have been recovered by the military before it was found by our Visitors, the
ones whose presence on Earth so fascinates and eludes us at the same time.

I called retired Deputy Sheriff Paul Wenzel as | was finishing this presentation. I asked
him if he had any more thoughts on the Elk River Crash. He responded, “Same old
mystery.”

Ministry of Defense X-Files
By Nick Pope

Copyright 2008 Nick Pope

Abstract

Late in 2007 the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD) gave an undertaking to release its entire
archive of UFO files. On May 14 2008 the National Archives released the first batch of
files, leading to worldwide media coverage, including articles in the New York Times
and coverage on CNN News. On October 20, 2008 the National Archives released the
second batch of files, again generating global media coverage, including a feature on
ABC News's Nightline. I used to work at the MoD on these files and although I left
government service in 2006, I assisted the National Archives in the release process by
reviewing the files, selecting cases of potential interest to the media and acting as
someone to whom they would refer journalists wanting to discuss the files. I will set out
the background to this release and explain how the French government's 2007 decision to
release its UFO files was a major factor in the UK decision, as was the fact that the MoD
receives more FOI requests on UFOs than any other topic. | will then give detailed
information about the files, explaining how much material there is, what it comprises and
what the timeline is for full disclosure. I will also discuss the level of classification
involved and the various FOI exemptions that mean certain information will not be
released. Finally, I will pick out some cases from the newly released files and discuss the
wider implications of this release.

Introduction

I used to work for the MoD in the UK and for 3 years | ran their UFO project. My remit
was to investigate UFO sightings reported to the British government, looking for
evidence of any potential threat, or anything judged to be of any "defence significance."
In 2007 the French government released their archive of UFO files and this was followed
by many stories suggesting that the British government was about to do the same. This
process has now begun and has commented upon extensively in the media and in the
UFO community. However, the situation is more complex than many suppose and some
of what's been written has been misleading or wrong. Accordingly, I'll clarify the
position, explain what's already happened, what's happening now and what future
developments people can expect to see.

The Public Records Acts

Before the UK's Freedom of Information Act came fully into force in 2005, the Public
Records Acts set down the rules on access to government files. The best-known feature
of these acts was the so-called 30 Year Rule, which did pretty much what it said on the
tin and meant that most files wouldn't be opened until 30 years after the most recent
document. Some more sensitive files were withheld for longer, while some would never

55

be released. The ‘default position’, as it were, was not to release. It was a totally different
culture, and when I joined the MoD in 1985, it was a closed organization with limited
public and media interface. The Department | left in 2006, after a 21 year career, was
virtually unrecognizable from the organization I'd joined over two decades ago.

1967

There was a major wave of UFO sightings in the UK in 1967 (and indeed in the US and
elsewhere) and the subject enjoyed extensive media coverage. There was parliamentary
interest too and one of the key decisions in relation to MoD UFO documents was taken in
that year. It was agreed by Defense ministers that in view of the historical/public interest,
all UFO files would be kept permanently and considered for eventual release. Prior to
that, files on the subject had been reviewed 5 years after closure and might be either
destroyed, sent to MoD records management divisions or sent to the Public Records
Office (now renamed the National Archives). What this meant was that prior to 1967,
few UFO files had survived this process and with a few exceptions, UFO files from the
Fifties and early Sixties had been destroyed. There was nothing sinister about this and
such decisions were made all the time on a wide range of subjects. It was a subjective
business and I've done it myself: administrative staff would bring me files and I'd have to
decide whether to authorize destruction, permanent retention or a further review. I never
authorized the destruction of a UFO file and following the 1967 ruling, nobody should.

Freedom of Information

The introduction of the Freedom of Information Act (passed in November 2000 and
coming fully into force in January 2005) effectively reversed the default position and the
presumption now is that information is released, unless any of the formal exemptions
apply. I was trained in this and have dealt with Freedom of Information (FOI) requests
myself, so have first-hand experience of this. Ufologists have used FOI (and the Code of
Practice on Access to Government Information, which preceded FOI but attempted to
apply some of the principles) extensively and researchers such as Georgina Bruni and
Timothy Good have achieved some high-profile successes. The file of the Rendlesham
Forest incident and on the Cosford incident, the Flying Saucer Working Party and Project
Condign (a highly classified UFO study sponsored by the Defence Intelligence Staff and
undertaken by a defence contractor) were all obtained using the Code or FOI. All these
files and more besides are now available on the MoD website, www.mod.uk. Go to the
Freedom of Information section and search the Publication Scheme and the Disclosure
Log, using keywords such as UFO and UAP and it's all there, alongside documents and
files on a vast range of other fascinating subjects including MoD's 2001 remote viewing
study.

FOI or Investigation?
The MoD receives more FOI requests relating to UFOs than on any other subject,

including the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. The section where I worked is now so busy
dealing with FO] requests that this has taken precedence over the research and

56

investigation that was done in my day. Few UFO sightings are currently investigated in
any meaningful sense of the word and most sightings elicit little more than a standard
letter. A major case such as Ray Bowyer's sighting over the Channel Islands on 23 April
2007 will at least be investigated, but not to the extent that has previously been the case.
The case file on the Channel Islands UFO sighting ran to 9 pages. Compare that with
previous major cases such as Rendlesham Forest or the Cosford Incident, where the case
files ran to over 100 pages of documentation. Investigations are suffering because of the
workload being put on staff due to FOI, but FOI is taking priority because if it fails to
comply, MoD would be breaching the law.

Disclosure

By 2007 the workload involved in dealing FOI requests was becoming intolerable and I
know that staffs were getting increasingly frustrated. Accordingly, because of the
administrative burden involved in responding to UFO-related FOI requests on a case by
case basis, MoD decided to proactively release its entire archive of UFO files. As
mentioned earlier, the French government did this in 2007 (and the dedicated server
crashed due to the volume of hits as around 220,000 people attempted to access the
material on the day of release) and this was another reason for the release, as was the
hope that the move would help deal with accusations that MoD was covering up the truth
about UFOs. Indeed, both the MoD and the National Archives hope that this will be a
good news story about open government and freedom of information. MoD confirmed to
me in December 2007 that the final decision had been taken and I duly broke the story in
the media.

The Details

There are around 160 files in all, covering sighting reports, public correspondence, policy
files and files detailing with how the MoD handles the subject when raised in parliament
and in the media. MoD decided not to release the material all in one go, mainly because
of the administrative burden of redacting the files, i.e. deleting any information covered
by the various exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act, ensuring that classified
information and personal data isn't released. Names, addresses and other personal details
relating to witnesses and officials have to be removed, to comply with the Freedom of
Information Act and the Data Protection Act. Other exemptions cover categories such as
defense and national security and examples of the sort of information that is being
withheld include classified information such as the capability of military radar

systems, information passed to the UK in confidence by allies, commercially-sensitive
information and information which, if disclosed, would reveal intelligence sources or
methods of gathering intelligence. It's a massive job: MoD has received over 11,000
UFO reports to date and case files on major incidents can run to over 100 pages of
documentation. The entire process is likely to take 3 - 4 years.

The Asbestos Files

While most files are ones from the secretariat branch that has the policy and investigative

57

lead on UFOs (i.e. the division where I worked) 24 Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) UFO
files are also being released. The DIS provided specialist advice and assistance on a
number of areas related to specific investigations. These 24 files were part of a batch of
several thousand DIS files that had been contaminated by asbestos. It was feared
originally that they'd have to be destroyed. Historians were outraged and conspiracy
theorists smelt a rat. But at a cost of around £3M all the files have now been
decontaminated and scanned onto CD-ROMs. Many UFO researchers have made
Freedom of Information Act requests relating to these files, so the material can now be
considered for release in the usual way.

What's in the Asbestos Files?

The 24 files cover the period 1975 to 1999 and cover a wide range of material, including
both policy and investigations. Many of the UFO sightings detailed are mundane, but
there are some more interesting ones, including sightings by civil and military pilots and
sightings corroborated by radar evidence. And of course the period covered means that
there will be documents on Rendlesham Forest, the Cosford Incident and Project
Condign. Some of the documents will be new, but many will be copies of ones in the
secretariat division's file. This is because the DIS UFO files mirror those of the
secretariat division responsible for setting policy and leading investigations, because the
secretariat and the DIS were looking at the same cases and corresponding with each other
about them. Some documents | wrote are in the files and some documents are ones that
were written to me. Brief details of these 24 files are available on the MoD website, in
the Disclosure Log. A search on the phrase "DIS UFO Incident Files" will turn up the
information.

The First Batch

The first batch of files were released on May 14, 2008. They covered the period 1978 -
1987. There were 8 files in this first batch, which led to some misunderstanding as many
people thought this was the same as saying that there were only 8 individual cases. In
fact, most of the files were sighting report files and each file contained several hundred
pages of documentation, consisting mainly of one or two page summaries of individual
sightings: the raw data, as it were, recorded in a standard format by the person receiving
the UFO report. Overall, therefore, there were thousands of pages of documentation in
these 8 files, detailing several hundred sightings. Most cases had mundane explanations
and were clearly misidentifications of ordinary objects and phenomena, mainly aircraft
lights, satellites and meteors. But some were more difficult to explain, including cases
where the witnesses were pilots and police officers, together with instances where UFOs
had been tracked on radar. There were also some more light-hearted cases, which were
almost certainly hoaxes or instances where some practical joke had got out of hand.
Some of the more interesting incidents included:

26th April, 1984: Members of the public report a UFO in Stanmore. Two police officers
attend the scene, witness the craft and sketch it.

13th October, 1984: a saucer-shaped UFO is seen from Waterloo Bridge in London by
numerous witnesses.

11th September, 1985: 2 UFOs tracked on a military radar system traveling 10 nautical
miles in 12 seconds.

4th September, 1986: a UFO passes an estimated 1.5 nautical miles from the port side of
a commercial aircraft.

The release made the news all around the world and within a couple of months the
material had been downloaded around 2 million times. The National Archives regarded
this as one of their most successful proactive events of all time.

The Second Batch

A second batch of Ministry of Defence UFO files was released on October 20, 2008 and
are now available at the National Archives. There are 19 files, many of which contain
several hundred individual documents. The files date from 1986 to 1992 and therefore
include cases from my tour of duty on the MoD's UFO project (1991 to 1994). It's
fascinating to see these files again - it's a real blast from the past. As with the first batch,
most of the UFO sightings in these newly released files can be explained as
misidentifications of ordinary objects or phenomena, with around 5% being more
difficult to explain. The cases that concerned me most were those involving near misses
between UFOs and commercial aircraft. There are several such cases in these files, along
with more sightings from police officers and more cases where UFOs have been tracked
on radar. I did a seemingly constant stream of TV and radio interviews, appearing on
most TV news programs (including a number of US shows such as ABC News's
Nightline) and on others shows such as GMTV, The Alan Titchmarsh Show and
Newsround, as well as prestigious radio shows such as Radio 4's Today program and
BBC World Service's The World Today. I appeared twice on this latter show, once
giving a conventional interview and the second time reading a science fiction story they
asked to write, based on the files, which listeners were then invited to continue. The fact
that such extensive media coverage resulted not only from the first release but from the
second illustrates the appeal that this subject has with the media. The British file release
is helping move the UFO phenomenon out of the fringe and into the mainstream.

Close Encounter over Kent

One of the most interesting cases from the second batch of files occurred on 21st April,
1991. I remember this incident very well and indeed I was involved in the official
investigation. We were informed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) - the UK
equivalent of the FAA - that there had been a near miss involving a commercial aircraft.

59

The aircraft was an Al Italia MD-80 with 57 passengers on board. It was a height of
around 22,000 feet over Kent, near Lydd, when a brown, cigar-shaped object passed so
close to the aircraft that the pilot shouted "look out, look out". In the normal course of
events, any near-miss would be investigated by the CAA. However, most such incidents
involve other aircraft, and as the crew were not able to identify the object, it was treated
as a UFO incident and passed from the CAA to the MoD. We launched a full
investigation and eliminated all the usual possibilities, including weather balloons,
military aircraft, etc. We even checked to see whether we had accidentally fired off a
missile of some sort. We drew a complete blank and the incident remains unexplained to
this day. This incident had a profound effect on me, because | realized that a commercial
aircraft had come within seconds of being blown out of the sky over the UK. This
illustrated that whatever one believes about UFOs, the phenomenon raises important
defence and air safety issues. However, some people at the MoD and the CAA did not
treat the incident as seriously as me, simply because of their automatic reaction to hearing
the word "UFO". This was deeply troubling and convinced me that I should make every
effort to ensure that all UFO incidents were investigated thoroughly, in a proper scientific
manner. It also convinced me that I should make efforts to ensure the subject was taken
more seriously within government, the military and the intelligence community.

Milton Torres

Another case from the second batch that I discussed in my various media interviews was
that of Milton Torres, a United States Air Force pilot who stated that on 20th May 1957
he was ordered to open fire on a UFO that was being tracked on radar. He was based at
RAF Manston in Kent and was scrambled to intercept a UFO that had been tracked over
Kent. He claims that he came within seconds of firing off a salvo of 24 rockets when the
UFO accelerated away at a speed of around Mach 10. Torres stated that he was
subsequently warned to stay silent about the incident and only mentioned it years
afterwards, at a reunion. While Torres has gone on the record and given a number of
media interviews, following the release of the documents from the MoD files, most
people have not realized that the account in the MoD file is not an official USAF or MoD
witness statement. It is a transcript of an interview with Torres, undertaken years after
the event and forwarded to MoD by a ufologist. The ufologist then speculated that the
incident was part of some secret test, which is patently false; as such tests would be
conducted in the restricted airspace of various ranges over the sea. Needless to say, one
does not conduct tests involving the potential firing of live weapons over the mainland
UK! Torres is clearly an honorable man, recalling a difficult and potentially life
threatening mission. But I would suggest that ufologists need to track down the original
1957 paperwork if they are to get to the bottom of this incident. Torres is not the only
pilot to have been ordered to open fire on UFOs. General Parviz Jafari (Iran, 1976) and
Comandante Huertas (Peru, 1980) were placed in similar positions and their stories, in
their own words, can be found on the Coalition for Freedom of Information website.

Other Highlights From The Second Batch of MoD Files

60

There are plenty of other fascinating cases from the MoD UFO files. These include a
case from 5 November 1990 when a number of RAF Tornado aircraft were overtaken by
a UFO. There is a case from Scotland where a spectacular UFO photo was sent to the
MoD. It was on my office wall for years, but was removed by my Head of Division, who
had convinced himself that it showed Aurora - supposedly a prototype aircraft, the
existence of which has never been confirmed. Additionally, there is a file that I opened
on alien abductions and alien contact cases, with a series of bizarre letters. There is

also material on crop circles, including papers showing how the MoD tried to get the
military to stop flying over crop circles and photographing them, as it undermined the
line that we were desperately trying to push at the time, i.e. that we weren't interested

in the phenomenon!

Summer of the Saucers

At the same time as these file releases, the summer of 2008 has seen a massive upsurge in
UFO sightings in the UK and - perhaps fuelled by the release of the government files - an
increase in media coverage, as journalists become increasingly aware that there's a
serious story here of interest to a vast number of people. I shall highlight the two cases
that have attracted most media attention. Both are to be covered in Series 2 of the
History Channel series UFO Hunters.

UFO in Near-Miss with Police Helicopter

A spectacular encounter between a UFO and a police helicopter took place on 8th June in
South Wales, over the military base at RAF St Athan, close to Cardiff International
Airport. The helicopter, with a crew of 3 on board, was about to land when it was in near
collision with a UFO. Initially described as being disc-shaped and covered in lights,
early media reports suggested a chase had taken place, with the helicopter pursuing the
UFO south over the Bristol Channel and only breaking off pursuit when the UFO proved
too quick and when they ran low on fuel. After the story broke on 20th June the story
changed and the police were careful to use the phrase "unusual aircraft" as opposed to
UFO. Additionally, while confirming the sighting, they denied a chase had taken place.
Perhaps the most extraordinary aspect of the story was a quote from the MoD Press
Office, where a spokesperson made the following comment: "But it is certainly not
advisable for police helicopters to go chasing what they think are UFOs". It has now
emerged that numerous other people in the area saw the UFO. The story generated
massive media coverage and numerous FOI requests have been made to the MoD and the
CAA, so look out for further developments on this story. Whatever one believes about
UFOs, incidents like this illustrate the phenomenon raises serious defence and flight
safety issues.

UFOs Filmed Over Military Base
The police helicopter story was followed by an even bigger story, when it transpired that

a few hours before the police helicopter incident, soldiers at Tern Hill barracks in
Shropshire saw several UFOs fly directly over their base. One of them filmed the objects

61

on his mobile phone. The Sun (the UK's best-selling national daily newspaper) ran the
story on the front page under the headline "Army Spot UFOs Over Shropshire". Again,
investigation into this sighting is ongoing. The film is inconclusive and may even just
show so-called Chinese lanterns, but the media coverage has been almost without
precedent.

A Vision of the Future

Once all the files have been released, most FOI requests can simply be dealt with by a
standard reply that refers people to the National Archives and/or the MoD website. At
that point, it is entirely possible that MoD will attempt to disengage from the subject
altogether, as the United States Air Force did when Project Blue Book was terminated in
1969. The DIS disengagement that followed Project Condign is a possible model and
precedent for this. Whether MoD will need a new review, or will simply rely on Project
Condign, is open to debate. But something has to give. There's no point in investigating
UFO sightings if you're not going to do it properly. I once wrote a paper on this for the
MoD Press Office (after I left the UFO project but before I left MoD), who were having
difficulty reconciling Directorate Air Staff's public line that they "weren't interested" in
UFOs with the fact that they had a telephone line for people to report sightings and did
investigate sightings from pilots.

No Smoking Gun

So far as the files are concerned, don't expect a smoking gun. There isn't one. The files
contain no references to spacecraft in an air force hangar or alien bodies at a government
laboratory. No back-engineering, no deals with extraterrestrials and no alien autopsies.
If such things have happened (and I have no knowledge that they have) I don't believe
they haven't happened in the UK. I'm accused of being part of a cover-up when I make
such statements, but they're true, whether people like it and believe it or not. Much of the
material is mundane - when I joined the UFO project each case looked different, but
when I left they all seemed the same. It's not all gloom, of course and there's some
amazing stuff in amongst the mass of more routine material: UFOs seen by police
officers and pilots, UFOs tracked on radar, craft seen performing speeds and maneuvers
significantly in excess of those of our most advanced military aircraft, intriguing photos
and videos, etc.

The Limits of a Paper Trail

A word of warning. Documents and files can never tell the whole story. The written
word has its limitations. Reading a book about war doesn't mean you truly understand
what it's like to be under fire in a war zone. Unless you've been there and done it, you
can only - at best - have an outsider's view - a second-hand understanding, as it were. It's
the same at the MoD. Journalists and members of the public who make FOI requests
relating to UFOs (or on any subject, for that matter) may get to see some documents

and files, but that only tells part of the story. Documents and files don't generally capture
the politics, the personalities and the intrigue. They don't capture the un-minuted

62

discussions that take place every day, in the office, the corridor, the canteen or at social
functions. Think about it from a personal point of view. How much of what you do at
work each day is ever written down? If an outsider was to read some of your files, would
they really understand all the business of the organization? Ufologists who specialize in
document research make a valuable contribution to the subject, but an experienced
journalist will tell you that the paper trail can only lead you so far. In any organization,
but especially in a fundamentally secretive one like MoD, documents and files can only
ever tell part of the story.

Conclusion

I am always reluctant to use the word disclosure, because in ufology the word is often
associated with the work of Dr Steven Greer, whose Disclosure Project has become
something resembling a political campaign (as has Exopolitics) aimed at ending the UFO
cover-up in which many conspiracy theorists believe. But I do use the word (with a small
d and not a capital letter!) because in a very real sense, disclosure is precisely what the
MoD is doing in relation to documents and files. Much has already been released and
there's more to come. These are exciting times.

Cobra Mist Patch

Thirty years before that closure — beginning back in 1961
until 1973 — the two air bases were only a few miles west
of the Orford Ness construction of a British and American

intelligence operation code named COBRA MIST.

COBRA MIST was experimental over-the-horizon
backscatter radar designed to monitor a 91-degree azimuth
sector. During its development in the 1960s, COBRA MIST

was the most powerful and sophisticated radar of its kind.

eee Eee

COBRA MIST buildings

The radar employed the U. S. Naval Research Lab’s
MADRE pulse-Doppler method, which used the F-layer of
the ionosphere to reflect high-power High Frequency (HF)
waves beyond the horizon to detect radar signals from
moving targets at ranges as great as 2000 nautical miles

(3,700 kilometers; 2,300 miles).

Through the early part of 1972, testing found odd,
unexplained noise that made “targets” appear in all filters,
even when there were no real targets. For example, the
COBRA MIST radar would show missiles being launched
no matter where the radar was looking. The frustrated
USAF eventually turned to the Stanford Research Institute
to solve the strange noise problem. One particularly
interesting finding was that distortion on/y occurred over
land. So investigators could not rule out deliberate jamming

— but jamming by what source?

MIST was never solved. Finally, on June 30, 1973, the
Orford Ness radar system was shut down, allegedly never
having worked in spite of thousands of man-hours and
$150 million 1970s dollars.

Out of the Blue Book Cover

Jenny Randles

In her 1991 book, Out of the Blue, British UFO investigator Jenny
Randles reported that residents in Orford Ness saw a fireball and
other strange glowing phenomena around the COBRA MIST radar
site in the 1960s, which became linked in the local public’s mind

with the persistent presence of UFOs.

After COBRA MIST’s closure in June 1973, the buildings were
eventually taken over by the BBC World Service transmitting

station.

But what exactly were British and American intelligence operations
doing between June 1973 and December 1980 to monitor the Soviet
Union’s military activities in the Cold War? What were UK and US
operatives doing to maintain the alleged secret of nuclear missiles

underground at RAF Bentwaters?

What exactly did happen between midnight on December 26, to

5 AM on December 28, 1980, that provoked U. S. Air Force Lt.
Col. Charles Halt and Airman 1“ Class John Burroughs to describe
lights in the Rendlesham Forest as “alive” and “speaking” to them
telepathically? Those words were used by John Burroughs in a 1988
hypnosis session to describe his and Col. Charles Halt’s

impressions of the lights.

First, | would like to present a physicist’s perspective on the
question: could experiments with the COBRA MIST MADRE radar
that was bounced off the F-layer of the ionosphere in the 1960s to
1973 have affected the natural electromagnetic fields in the Orford

Ness, Bentwaters and Rendlesham region? The question is posed
because internet rumors have suggested that possibly High
Frequency over-the-horizon radar (HF OTH) or Extreme Low
Frequency (ELF) experimentation in the Orford Ness COBRA
MIST facility might have produced magnetic field anomalies that
attracted one or more non-human intelligences - or even time

“The easy answer is no. The Earth’s magnetic field is sufficiently
strong. The energy density in the magnetic field is a million times
higher than the ionosphere. So, you can tickle the ionosphere all
you want to and not change the magnetic field more than .01 or .001
percent. So, the answer is no.

What you can do is create a tiny magnetic field that propagates as a
wave and that’s what an ELF transmitter does. It makes a tiny
picotesla, as opposed to the Earth’s field, which is 50,000
nanoteslas. So you’re talking about orders of ten magnitudes greater
in the Earth’s magnetic field than an ELF wave.

If you take the magnetic field grid around the Earth and pretend it’s
made of rubber bands and tweak the rubber band | micron, it will
wiggle a little. That’s what we are talking about.

WHATSOEVER ON THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD GRID
AROUND ORFORD NESS OR THAT REGION?

Right. It’s a tiny micron displacement of the rubber band. That’s it.
And even there, because you are not undemeath the aurora, it’s

even less because you don’t have any antennae up there to

modulate. And as far as we know, they weren’t modulating
anything. They were just transmitting radar. You would get a bigger

eee

effect from Voice of America, for God’s sakes! The Voice of
America broadcast power was much bigger than OTH radar. We
really poured a lot of energy into Voice of America. It was the same
deal, transmitting ‘Western propaganda,” but it was still a big
signal. It had to overcome jamming and all kinds of things.

SO VOICE OF AMERICA WOULD HAVE HAD A STRONGER
IMPACT ON THE MAGNETIC FIELDS THAN COBRA MIST?

Absolutely, no question!

I’M TRYING TO GET A REALITY CHECK ON THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RADAR FREQUENCIES,
EXTREME LOW FREQUENCIES AND ANY IMPACT THEY
MIGHT HAVE ON THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS OF
THE EARTH AT ANY LOCATION AT ANY TIME.

The Earth’s magnetic field has 250,000 times more energy per
cubic meter than the electromagnetic fields from COBRA MIST or

OTH or HAARP or any of those things.

The magnetic fields that are created by manmade structures are at
most | millionth as strong as the Earth’s natural magnetic field. The
Earth’s magnetic field is generated in the core of the Earth. It takes
God’s best aurora to even make a 5% effect and we’re talking about
1 million amperes at 100,000 volts makes 5% maximum change (in
Earth’s magnetic field). A pigeon and instruments can detect that
change, but the Earth’s magnetic field is a huge source of energy —
terawatts!

Mother Nature —a single lightning strike generates more
electromagnetic energy in these frequency ranges than HAARP, for
example, could ever hope to. Every lightning strike! And there are
what? A thousand a minute? (Actually there are 100 lightning
strikes per second or 6,000 per minute all the time on Earth.) ”

[ Howe’s Note: Wikipedia - An average bolt of lightning
carries an electric current of 40 kiloamperes (kA) and
transfers a charge of five coulombs and 500 MJoules. Large
bolts of lightning can carry up to 120 kA and 350 coulombs.
The voltage depends on the length of the bolt, with the
dielectric breakdown of air being three million volts per
meter. This works out to approximately one gigavolt (one
thousand million volts) for a 300 meters (1000 feet)
lightning bolt. With an electric current of 100 kA, this gives
a power of 100 terawatts. However, lightning leader

7

development is not a simple matter of dielectric breakdown,
and the ambient electric fields required for lightning leader
propagation can be a few orders of magnitude less than
dielectric breakdown strength. Further, the potential gradient
inside a well-developed return-stroke channel is on the order
of hundreds of volts per meter or less due to intense channel
ionization, resulting in a true power output on the order of
megawatts per meter for a vigorous return-stroke current of
100 kA. ]

RIGHT NOW, WHAT IS THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF
HAARP AND THE OTHER STATIONS TRYING TO
INTERACT WITH THE IONOSPHERE? WHAT IS THE
PRACTICAL APPLICATION FOR THE MILITARY?

Almost none. A very uninspired, low funded idea to determine
underground things.”

RAF Woodbridge East Gate

72

As the clock was about to change from Christmas day 1980 to
midnight, December 26, 1980, 20-year-old Airman First Class (AIC)
John Burroughs was on Security Police duty at RAF Woodbridge’s
back gate, commonly known as the “East Gate.” With Airman
Burroughs was Staff Sergeant (SSgt) Bud Steffens. RAF Woodbridge
was four miles west of RAF Bentwaters (in Butley, Suffolk).

At about 3 AM, Sgt. Steffens and Airman John Burroughs saw strange,
colorful lights hovering at tree-top level in the Rendlesham Forest east
of the RAF Woodbridge East Gate.

So, Burroughs and Steffens drove their patrol car out the East Gate on
a road along Rendlesham Forest. The colorful red, orange and blue
lights seemed closer than before. Suddenly a large, white light
appeared moving along the edge of the forest as if pacing their car and
seemed to move closer to them.

Later on, Airman Burroughs submitted a hand-written statement about
what he saw to the RAF Bentwaters Deputy Base Commander,
Charles Halt.

SLIDE # 16
Excerpt of John Burroughs hand-written
statement in December 1980

“The lights were red and blue, the red one above the blue one and they
were flashing on and off. Because I never saw anything like that
coming from the woods before, we (Burroughs and Steffens) decided to
drive down and see what it was. We went down East Gate Road and
took a right at the stop sign and drove down about 10 to 20 yards to
where there is a road that goes into the forest.”

SLIDE # 17

“At the road, I could see a white light shining onto the trees and I
could still see the red and blue lights.”

“This would move back and forth, up and down, but the blue and
white and orange would come out when it was sitting in one place.
Blue lights would come out of the beam and the white light below.
Blue lights would blink on and off inside the beam, plus the beam
would be red and orange. A white light would come out below the
beam in the trees.

AIC John Burroughs 81SPS SPOL CFLT”

John Burroughs told me he was overwhelmed with the feeling
“something was not right!” He and Steffens drove back to the East
Gate. It was around midnight. They phoned a Sgt. McCabe to report
what had been happening and McCabe alerted the Central Security
Control]. That early morning of December 26, 1980, Staff Sergeant
James W. Penniston was duty supervisor at RAF Woodbridge and

73

SLIDE # 19

drove to the East Gate in a truck with newly assigned Airman 1*' Class
Edward Cabansag (pronounced Cuh-VAN-sack) to see for himself
what was happening.

Sgt. Penniston asked Airman John Burroughs and Sergeant Bud
Steffens if the lights could be from an airplane crash in the forest.
Steffens replied: “It did not crash. It landed!”

Jim Penniston would later say in interviews that after a call to the Shift
Commander’s office, he was told to proceed off base toward the
mysterious lights with the two other security policemen, John
Burroughs and Ed Cabansag. The three American men were told to
leave their weapons behind to comply with the British military’s Status
Forces Agreement.

Road from East Gate along Rendlesham Forest
and the dirt logging road that curves off

SLIDE # 20

Back in Sgt. Penniston’s truck, the men drove out of the East Gate and
on to a logging road that ran through the Rendlesham Forest where
Burroughs and Steffens had been earlier. Penniston said the road was
full of potholes and was so frozen it was hard to drive the truck. So,
the men decided to park. Ed Cabansag walked with Sgt. Penniston and
Airman Burroughs into the woods until their first strange light
encounter. John Burroughs wrote afterward that there was a light that
rose in the air above the Rendlesham trees. “All three of us hit the
ground and whatever it was started moving back towards the open
field.” After that, the men decided that Cabansac should stay there to
relay communications, while Penniston and Burroughs continued
walking deeper into the woods.

Burroughs hand-written report

74

Burroughs wrote in his report, “... you could hear the farm animals
making a lot of noises.” In later interviews, Burroughs would say:
“Penniston and I were moving toward a lighted part of the forest. At
that point, we got a radio transmission from Central Security Control
(CSC). An object had been seen over our base and had disappeared on
radar” about five miles from RAF Woodbridge and Bentwaters.

ss eeeeeeeSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSFSFSssFeFeFeFeFFFsmsmsms—FsFOFEFe

Burroughs and Penniston also described feeling hair on their arms and
back of their necks stand up like in the electrostatic atmosphere of a
thunderstorm. But it was a cold night without storms.

SLIDE # 21
Penniston’s written report

According to Sgt. Penniston’s written report, when he and Airman
Burroughs got to the center of Rendlesham Forest, Penniston wrote in
his statement afterward,

“The object was producing red and blue light. The blue light was
steady and projecting under the object. It was lighting up the area
directly under (object) extending a meter or two out.” Sgt. Penniston
contacted Staff Sergeant Coffey at CSC and told him that the object
“was definitely mechanical in nature.”

Nowhere in Sgt. Penniston’s statement was any mention of his and
Burroughs’ encounter with what Penniston would later describe in
interviews as:

SLIDE # 22
Penniston comments

“*..a shiny, triangle-shaped object in a clearing that had a row of blue
lights and seemed to be landed on the forest floor. The air was filled
with electricity — like static. You could feel it on your skin as you
approached the object. There was also a sense of slowness, like time
itself was an effort. I got to within ten feet of the craft in the clearing
where it sat.”

“T estimated it to be about three meters high and three meters wide at
the base (10 feet x 10 feet). No landing gear was apparent, but the
object seemed like it was on fixed legs. | walked around the craft and
finally, I walked right up to the craft. [ noticed the fabric of the shell
was like a smooth, opaque, black glass. I was pretty much confused at
that point. It was dead silent. No animals were even making noise
anymore. The nearer we got to that thing, the more uneasy I felt — it
was as if I were moving in slow motion.”

John Burroughs agreed, “It was a weird feeling, like everything
seemed slower than you were actually doing.” Strangely, John
Burroughs to this day does not remember seeing Jim Penniston near
such a craft. But Burroughs also knows his mind is blocked when he

75

ee a oe

SLIDE # 23

thinks about the lights. Burroughs’ efforts in October 2008 to penetrate
that mental block is what the rest of this presentation is about.

But as prelude, here are a few more details from Sgt. Jim Penniston,
who was with Burroughs in the forest after 3 AM, on December 26,
1980.

Penniston’s notebook original sketch of triangular craft

SLIDE # 24

Jim Penniston says he had a camera and notebook in which he
noted that “mainly white light encompasses most of the upper
section of the craft. A small amount of white light peers out of the
bottom. At the left side of center is a bluish light and on the other
side of center is a red light.”

“Finally, | unleashed my camera-case cover and brought the
camera up to focus. | began snapping photo after photo. Soon I had
taken all 36 pictures on my roll of film. (35mm)”

Penniston’s original notebook rough sketches of glassy symbols

SLIDE # 25

“On the smooth exterior shell, there was writing of some kind, but
I couldn’t quite distinguish it. So, 1 moved up to see 3-inch
lettering — or rather symbols — that stretched for the length of two
feet, maybe a little more.”

Penniston’s refined sketch of symbols

76

Then Sgt. Penniston reached out his hand. “I touched the symbols
and I could feel the shapes as if they were inscribed or etched or
engraved, like a diamond cut on glass.”

When Sgt. Penniston’s fingers touched the engraved symbols, he
said the craft’s upper white light instantly grew much brighter,
almost blinding. Both Penniston and John Burroughs fell to the
ground in a defensive move.

LS

Penniston said, “The craft moved up off the ground about three
feet, still with absolutely no sound. It started to move slowly. It
took a couple of minutes for it to maneuver itself back to a distance
of about 100 to 150 feet.”

“Then it rose up just over the trees, about 200 feet high. There was
a momentary pause and then literally with the blink of an eye, it
was gone. All with no sound! That still boggles my mind.”

After the craft disappeared, both men felt normal again. The slow
motion feeling went away. Then John Burroughs saw more colored
lights in the forest. Burroughs and Penniston tried to go after those
lights, too, but changed their minds, turned around and went back
to the truck.

SLIDE # 26
Drawing of tripod indentations

On their way back, Burroughs found three indentations in the
forest soil where the craft must have been resting on three tripod
legs to form a triangle pattern of indentations in the soil with each
leg ten feet apart.

SLIDE # 27
Close-up photo of triangular indentation

Further, each indentation was the shape of a triangle.

After returning with Airman Cabansag to the air base, Burroughs
and Penniston were told “it is best to keep quiet about what you
have seen.” But the two men decided to go back to the forest to
look for more physical evidence beyond the tripod indentations.
They found scorch marks on the trees and branches broken off.

SLIDE # 28
Photo of triangular plaster cast

Jim Penniston also said he made plaster casts of the triangle-
shaped indentations in the ground.

77

Two nights later on December 28, 1980, after midnight, John
Burroughs felt drawn back to the Rendlesham Forest and
encountered lights again. This time Bentwaters Base Commander
Lt. Col. Charles Halt was in the forest with a tape recorder, light-
alls and other equipment to document the persistent and unusual
activity. Col. Halt gave John Burroughs and Sgt. Adrian Bustinza
permission to go closer toward the lights. Suddenly, Bustinza was
on the ground and John Burroughs doesn’t remember what
happened except that later Bustinza told him “the lights pushed me
to the ground.”

Eight Years Later in 1988

Hypnosis # | - John Burroughs

On October 14, 1988, actor Mike Farrell hosted UFO Cover-Up: Live!, a two-hour prime
time syndicated television special that was broadcast in North America. What happened
behind the scenes was a secret first hypnosis session with John Burroughs on November
11, 1988, but never used in the TV broadcast. A producer wanted to find out what
happened to John Burroughs near the lights and the rumor that John “jumped up” on a
craft. John was confused by the rumor because he could not clearly remember what
happened when he was near the lights in Rendlesham Forest on either the early morning of
December 26, with Jim Penniston, or with Adrian Bustinza on the early morning of
December 28.

B (describing radio transmission information): The British police are there, the
Shift Commander’s there, the Security Flight Chief is there, our Flight Chief's
there, there’s other law enforcement patrols. Everybody was concerned.

They go, ‘John, we lost contact for forty-five minutes with you — or fifty minutes!
We didn’t know where you were. The WSA Tower (weapons storage area) saw

all kinds of lights in the air. They thought they saw something being beamed up in
the air, but they weren’t sure. They thought we lost you, John! We thought we lost
you guys. Well, what happened?’

B: We don’t know.

you. We completely lost contact with you. There were other patrols down at the
(East) gate. They said they saw weird happenings. They said they saw something
above the tree level. They said they thought they saw something being lifted off
the ground and they said they thought that you were GONE. They said that they
thought we lost you. They thought something had taken you. What happened?!’

Hypnotherapist 1988: Did you see any kind of life forms in connection with the
lights?

B: No. And he (Shift Commander) goes, ‘Well, gentlemen, I’ve got some
interesting news for you. Heathrow Tower had two unidentified flying objects and
marked it a UFO. The British (radar) base (RAF Bawdsey ) that’s four miles from
here also marked it as a UFO. What I feel you were involved in, gentlemen, was a
UFO.’

Afterward, John Burroughs went to bed to sleep the rest of December 26, 1980, and

woke up in the early morning of December 27, feeling like something had returned.
Burroughs was told that a female Shift Commander was driving in her jeep when a blue

— eeeeeeeeeeSSSSSSSMSmmmmHshFeseseF

light stopped her vehicle and then moved inside her jeep and back out. The blue light
scared her so much she cried and was relieved of her duty for the night.

So, Burroughs decided to return to Rendlesham Forest after midnight on December 28,
1980, with a couple of friends. By 2 AM, December 28, lots of military people showed
up and John Burroughs asked what was going on.

And he goes, ‘Well, we were all briefed about this tonight (December 27 to 28)
before we came on: that it (lights) showed up December 26 and December 27, and
that there were really weird things going on and that we were to wait for it again
and see if it came back tonight and we were going to set up for it and we were
going to find out what was going on.’

B: Well, Colonel (Charles) Halt shows up with Sergeant Ball and I thought it was
weird that Col. Halt was in civilian clothes.

B: Well, then Halt put his arm around me and said, ‘Let’s go.’ And then all of a
sudden there was a shorter sergeant and he was Mexican (Sgt. Adrian Bustinza).
He was coming up towards me and he says, ‘Let’s go!” And the three of us
walked toward the craft (Col. Charles Halt, Sgt. Adrian Bustinza and Airman 1*

And Col. Halt goes, ‘I’ve got all of this on tape recording.’ He shows me the tape
recorder. And he has a radio with him. And he goes, ‘We’re recording all of this

through the Wing Command Post.’ ...So, we started walking and the light was
there and it was at a distance. And THEN there it was! Three blue lights.

lights made contact with us. They were on top of us. It was like they spoke to us!’
I go, ‘They? What’s They?’

And Halt goes, ‘These lights!’ ... There were lights there and they were speaking
to us. They were over us, they were flying in the sky, they were hovering over us.’

Hypnotherapist 1988: OK, John, hold it right there where you see those blue
lights. Now, I want you to look at one of those lights and ask it questions that
come to your mind. That light will talk back to you and tell me what it says.
B: It says, ‘Come to me.’

Epilogue

In 1997, Jim Penniston gave me permission to share some of his December 26, 1980,
Rendlesham Forest experiences in my third book, Glimpses of Other Realities: Vol. II -
High Strangeness. After his and John Burroughs’ encounter with the lights and craft, Sgt.
Penniston told me he received a call to report on December 30, 1980, to the Orderly Room
at the head of the 81*' Security Police Squadron at RAF Bentwaters. From there, Major
Malcolm Zickler ordered Penniston to report to the Air Force Office of Special
Investigations (AFOS]) for a meeting to tell his story to an AFOSI Special Agent and a
Major. Back in 1997, Penniston told me that he deliberately left out the most significant
part about reaching out to touch the symbols on the glowing, triangle-shaped craft and
receiving information in his mind. Apparently the intelligence agents knew Sgt. Penniston
wasn’t telling the full truth and gave him a release to sign so he could be given sodium
pentothal. Sodium pentothal is a barbituate that induces unconsciousness smoothly and
rapidly and has been called “truth serum” when used with hypnosis.

After it was over, no one told Penniston what he had said. Finally fourteen years after the
Bentwaters events, on September 10, 1994, Jim Penniston underwent hypnosis with a
hypnotherapist to see if he could penetrate more details about haunting dreams he was
having and his worry that the military’s sodium pentothal hypnosis might have been done
to purposefully erase part of his memory.

I was given an audiocassette of that 1994 session to transcribe. The transcription is
included in my 1998 book, Glimpses of Other Realities, Vol. II: High Strangeness. Jim
Penniston’s Bentwaters interrogators asked about the glowing lights and craft he had
earlier refused to describe.

They go to their past. It’s impossible to go into the future. It takes too much

consistency of eyewitness testimonies so no credibility with public and media.)

They are going to give me a warning. ... They tell me that I will hurt the world. It
will breach national security and can destroy the system, cause wars, chaos in the

Col. Charles I. Halt’s January 13, 1981,
report to Royal Air Force

Two weeks after Sgt. Jim Penniston’s December 26, 1980 experience, USAF Lt. Col.
Charles Halt, RAF Bentwaters Deputy Base Commander, wrote a report dated January 13,
1981, on official Department of Air Force Headquarters letterhead to the Royal Air Force.
The subject is “Unexplained Lights.” His dates are scrambled, compared to the
testimonies of John Burroughs and Sgt. Jim Penniston, who agree the first night of events
was December 26, 1980, while their second encounter was with Lt. Col. Halt in the early
morning hours of December 28, 1980.

In his letter, Lt. Col. Halt described the object encountered by John Burroughs and Jim
Penniston in Rendlesham Forest as, “metallic in appearance and triangular in shape,
approximately two to three meters across the base and approximately two meters high. It
illuminated the entire forest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on
top and a bank of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering on legs. As the
patrolmen approached the object, it maneuvered through the trees and disappeared. At this
time, the animals on a nearby farm went into a frenzy. ...The next day, three depressions
| 1/7 inches deep and 7 inches in diameter were found where the object had been sighted
on the ground.”

Col. Halt also confirmed beta/gamma radiation readings were recorded with “peak
readings in the three depressions and near the center of the triangle formed by the
depressions. A nearby tree had moderate beta/gamma readings on the side of the tree
toward the depressions.”

Col. Halt also described another event in which a red, pulsing light “threw off glowing
particles and then broke into five separate white objects and then disappeared.” The time
and date of this event cannot be confirmed by John Burroughs nor Jim Penniston. But
another military eyewitness, Larry Warren, says he saw such an explosion of light while
many security people, light-alls, and photographic equipment were present.

Col. Halt also described, “three star-like objects were noticed in the sky, two objects to
the north and one to the south, all of which were about 10 degrees off the horizon. The
objects moved rapidly in sharp angular movements and displayed red, green and blue
lights. The objects to the north appeared to be elliptical through an 8 — 12 power lens.
They then tumed to full circles. The objects to the north remained in the sky for an hour
or more. The object to the south was visible for two or three hours and beamed down a
stream of light from time to time. Numerous individuals, including the undersigned,
witnessed the activities...” Signed Charles I. Halt, Lt. Col., USAF Deputy Base
Commander (RAF Bentwaters).

U. K. Ministry of Defence Letter

Then an alleged British Ministry of Defence letter in which the date, addressee and writer
were blacked out even referenced “entities” that were small, “approximately 1 4 metres
tall, wore what appeared to be nylon-coated pressure suits, but no helmets. Conditions on
the night were misty, giving the appearance that the entities were hovering above ground
level. ... According to OSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations), entities had claw-
like hands with three digits and an opposable thumb.”

If such entities are “time travelers” from Earth’s future with claw-like hands that have
only four fingers, what happened in the evolution of Homo sapiens?

Jim Penniston comment after
September 10, 1994, hypnosis session

After his September 10, 1994, hypnosis session was over, Sergeant James Penniston
described the U. S. government’s position concerning the Rendlesham Forest encounters
this way:

“GEEZ, it’s incredible! The American government is helpless. They don’t know
what the hell to do and aren’t going to mess with me because they don’t know
what THEY, the time travel entities, are going to do. The government doesn’t
know if the beings will do something or not. The government is worried about
interference.”

Jim Penniston means alien interference, perhaps even retaliation, if governments try to
stop or interfere with the presumed time travelers’ genetic harvests from Earth life.

When Penniston placed his hand on the craft’s engraved symbols, he thinks he activated
technology that sent light containing binary code communication into his mind. It is

88

need

eS

important to remember that the idea of time travelers from the future came from Staff
Sgt. Penniston, a military security man who interacted with the lights.

Time travel is also a serious subject in moder physics. Mathematical theory says that if
matter approaches the speed of light, time appears to slow down to an external observer.
If you were the light speed matter, you would notice no difference in time. The closer you
got to the speed of light, the slower time would go. If you reached the speed of light, time
would stop. Then if you could exceed the speed of light, time would reverse — but only to
the outside observer. You, the traveler going faster than light, would have no reference
point for time change until you returned to your physical starting point and slowed back
down to normal speeds. Then you would have lived the famous limerick:

There once was a lady named Bright
Who traveled much faster than light.
She departed one day in a relative way
And came home the previous night.

Theoretical physicist Kurt Godel described in the book, A/bert Einstein: Philosopher-
Scientist, a rotating galaxy in which “by making a round trip on a rocket ship in a
sufficiently wide curve, it is possible in these worlds to travel into any region of the past,
present and future, and back again ... But the velocities which would be necessary in
order to complete the voyage in a reasonable length of time are far beyond everything
that can be expected ever to become a practical possibility.” That book was written in
1949. Now sixty years later, modern quantum physicists talk about parallel universes,
other dimensions and hopping through the universe in and out of theoretical wormholes.

Then, there is the paradox in Penniston’s recall of the telepathic transmission from the
glowing craft. The implication is that the time travelers are humans from a place 50,000
years into the future where humanity is dying out and sending beings in craft back
through time to harvest genetic material from our present Earth life in order for a future
civilization to survive. The explanation given for traveling thousands of years into the
past was to avoid affecting the time travelers’ future time line in some dangerous way.
But moving backwards in time to a distant past to survive IS changing their future.

Perhaps the paradox is a translation problem in which we humans lack the language and
understanding of a different cosmology than we have discovered so far. Fans of Star Trek
and Star Wars and other science fiction are accustomed to plots that include allies or
enemies that use time travel for transportation, to fight wars, to change destinies and to

even gain immortality.

Whether the glowing triangular craft and its symbols belonged to time travelers, or
extraterrestrial biological entities from inside this universe, or non-human entities from
parallel universes or other dimensions, why is the truth suppressed? Why can’t
governments tell their citizens that humans are not alone in the universe? What facts
about other intelligences interacting with Earth do government insiders know and
consider so dangerous that they hide those facts for decades under a policy of denial in

89

the interest of national security? If national security is built on lies and deceptions, it is
no one’s security. It is social imprisonment by illusion.

Those distorting reality are using lies to control the public and media while perpetuating
their power. However, the 1980 high strangeness in Rendlesham Forest has never rested
easily in the minds of those who were actually there. Perhaps like human time release
capsules, John Burroughs, Jim Penniston, Col. Halt and others have embedded within
them pieces of truth about an incomprehensible future? Or pieces of lies that keep
humans corralled by illusions? Either way, whatever penetrated the Rendlesham Forest in
December 1980, is still reverberating nearly thirty years later in 2008 with so much
power that John Burroughs cannot forget the haunting, seemingly telepathic lights and
the question: what is their source?

Tunguska: 100 Years Latter

(Soviet Academy of Sciences, 1927)

Early on the morning of June 30, 1908, numerous people in the region of
Tunguska, Russia, and specifically in the hills northwest of Lake Baikal, witnessed what
was described as a large column of blue light moving deliberately across the dawn sky.
Approximately ten minutes later, the sighting was followed by the sound of a massive
explosion that decimated the area, and caused damage hundreds of miles away from the
presumed impact site of whatever it was that had earlier been seen in the sky.

The event was captured on seismic equipment as far away as Bnitain. And, in the
United States, both the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Mount Wilson
Observatory recorded a marked decrease in atmospheric transparency in the immediate
wake of the event that lasted for a period of three months.

In the days that followed, Russian newspapers reported extensively on the event.

The July 2, 1908 edition of the Sibir newspaper stated:

91

In the N. Karelinski village the peasants saw to the North-
West, rather high above the horizon, some strangely bright
bluish-white heavenly body, which for 10 minutes moved
downwards. The body appeared as a ‘pipe,’ i.e. a cylinder.
The sky was cloudless, only a small dark cloud was
observed in the general direction of the bright body. It was
hot and dry. As the body neared the ground, the bright body
seemed to smudge, and then tured into a giant billow of
black smoke, and a loud knocking was heard, as if large
stones were falling, or artillery was fired. All buildings
shook. At the same time the cloud began emitting flames of
uncertain shapes. All villagers were stricken with panic and
took to the streets, women cried, thinking it was the end of
the world.

Similarly, the Krasnoyaretz newspaper recorded the following:

At 7.43 the noise akin to a strong wind was _ heard.
Immediately afterwards a horrific thump sounded, followed
by an earthquake which literally shook the buildings. The
first thump was followed by a second, and then a third.
Then the interval between the first and the third thumps
were accompanied by an unusual underground rattle,
similar to a railway upon which dozens of trains are
travelling at the same time. Afterwards for 5 to 6 minutes
an exact likeness of artillery fire was heard: 50 to 60
salvoes in short, equal intervals, which got progressively
weaker. |.5—-2 minutes after one of the ‘barrages’ six more
thumps were heard, like cannon firing, but individual, loud,
and accompanied by tremors. The sky, at the first sight,
appeared to be clear. There was no wind and no clouds.
However, upon closer inspection to the North, where most
of the thumps were heard, a kind of ashen cloud was seen
near the horizon which kept getting smaller and more
transparent, and by around 2—3:00 p.m. completely
disappeared.

After the initial flurry of excitement, however, the story rapidly vanished into
large-scale obscurity, and did not resurface to any great extent until 1921. It was in that
year that Leonid Kulik, who was a Russian mineralogist, visited what is known as the
Podkamennaya Tunguska River basin on behalf of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

At the time, Kulik concluded that the object that had caused such widespread
destruction was a meteorite and, as a result, a full-scale expedition began in 1927.
Interestingly, the Soviet Government agreed to fund the expedition on the grounds that
such a huge meteorite would have likely deposited a massive amount of iron in the area

92

le

and the recovery of the iron itself would cover the cost of the expedition. Moreover, the
Government concluded, the recovery of such a large amount of iron would prove to be a
major boost to the Soviet economy.

On arrival at the scene of the presumed meteorite crash, however, Kulik’s team was
surprised to find that there was no impact crater at all. Instead, there was merely a huge,
50-kilometer-wide area of flattened and burnt trees. Over the course of the next decade,
Kulik would initiate three expeditions to the area, in an attempt to determine what had
really occurred at Tunguska back in 1908.

(Soviet Academy of Sciences, 1927)

In 1930, Kulik recorded the following firsthand testimony from witness Semen
Semenov:

At breakfast time I was sitting by the house at Vanavara
Factory, facing north. I suddenly saw that directly to the
north, over Onkoul’s Tunguska road, the sky split in two
and fire appeared high and wide over the forest. The split in
the sky grew larger, and the entire northern side was
covered with fire. At that moment I became so hot that |
couldn’t bear it, as if my shirt was on fire.

From the northern side, where the fire was, came
strong heat. I wanted to tear off my shirt and throw it down,
but then the sky shut closed, and a strong thump sounded,

93

and | was thrown a few yards. I lost my senses for a
moment, but then my wife ran out and led me to the house.

After that such noise came, as if rocks were falling
or cannons were firing, the earth shook, and when | was on
the ground, I pressed my head down, fearing rocks would
smash it. When the sky opened up, hot wind raced between
the houses, like from cannons, which left traces in the
ground like pathways, and it damaged some crops. Later
we saw that many windows were shattered, and in the barn
a part of the iron lock snapped.

It was largely not until the 1950s and 1960s that additional advancement was
made: several expeditions undertaken in that period determined that large amounts of
both nickel and iridium were present at the Tunguska site, both of which are found in
meteorites. As a result, the theory that the Tunguska object was indeed a meteorite was
the one that gained most favor, specifically within scientific and academic circles.

Interestingly, further experiments undertaken in the mid-1960s by Russian
scientists demonstrated that, in all probability, the Tunguska meteorite had approached
the area at an angle of 30-degrees from the ground—which further reinforced the theory
that the object responsible for the devastation had exploded in mid-air, rather than having
slammed into the ground.

But was the Tunguska event really the result of a meteorite strike? Not everyone
thinks so. Other theories have been suggested for the mystery of Tunguska, including an
asteroid, a small comet, a black hole, or some form of anti-matter. However, the most
intriguing theory suggests that (a) a UFO exploded high in the skies over Tunguska; and
(b) that the Russian Government has secretly hidden the startling, extraterrestrial truth
ever since. Indeed, the possibility that an advanced vehicle from another world was the
root-cause of the Tunguska event was addressed deeply in the book The Fire Came By,
written by John Baxter and Thomas Atkins.

According to the authors, the magnetic field of the earth was greatly disturbed at
the time of the explosion, and in a scenario that strongly supported the idea that the blast
was one of a nuclear nature.
Moreover, Baxter and Atkins concluded that the path of destruction that levelled
the surrounding forested areas was very similar, if not consistent, with the type of shock-
waves that one would expect to see following the detonation of an atomic device. And
even more intriguing was the report of trinities—small, globules of green, melted dust—
having been located at the site, and which are typically characteristic of an atomic
detonation.
Vladimir V. Rubtsov, Ph.D., a proponent of the theory that an alien spacecraft
came to grief at Tunguska, wrote an article in the May 2001 issue of Fate magazine that
further demonstrated that, in his opinion, the object had highly exotic origins. Rubtsov,
too, commented on the atomic-angle:
The work by the first postwar Tunguska expedition,
organized in 1958 by the Committee on Meteorites of the
USSR Academy of Sciences, compelled everyone involved
in the discussion to agree: the Tunguska space body had in
fact exploded in the air and therefore could hardly have
been an ordinary meteorite.

Rubtsov continued that:

95

A rare mutation among the human natives of the region
also arose in the 1910s in one of the settlements near the
epicenter. According to Dr. N. V. Vasilyev, medico-
ecological examination of the state of health of the native
inhabitants reveals population genetic effects similar to
those observed in the regions affected by nuclear weapon
tests. These facts (as well as the local magnetic storm that
started after the explosion) count in favor of the nuclear
character of the Tunguska explosion. Maybe we are even
dealing in this instance with a novel type of nuclear
reaction.

And, most recently, in August 2004 a Russian expedition to the site, led by Yuri
Labvin, was launched, and reportedly uncovered what was tantalizingly described as an
“extraterrestrial device” was discovered at the scene of the massive destruction.
Currently, the complete results of the expedition and the actual nature of the alleged alien
device have yet to be disclosed.

While the idea that an alien spacecraft might have crashed at, or exploded in the
air high above, Tunguska in 1908 is certainly provocative, it was actually within the
world of science-fiction that the theory was first widely espoused. For example, in 1946
Soviet author Alexander Petrovich Kazanstev wrote a story that was directly inspired by
a trip he had made during the previous year to see the atomic devastation that was
wrought at Hiroshima

Kazantsev’s scenario told of a large nuclear-powered spacecraft from Mars that
was on an exploratory mission from the Red Planet to secure fresh water from Lake
Baikal, and which exploded, saturating the area in deadly radioactivity and decimating
the countryside.

Similarly, in his debut novel of 1951 titled Astronauts, sci-fi author Stanislaw
Lem used the scenario of an alien spacecraft exploding at Tunguska as its central theme.
Eight years later, Astronauts was adapted into a movie titled First Spaceship on Venus, in
which Russian scientists discover a “magnetic recording device” at the site of the
Tunguska blast, and subsequently determine that the object that exploded there was a
reconnaissance vessel from the planet Venus.

A translation of the recording device reveals that the vessel contained the entire
Venusian population, who were coming to Earth with the specific intent of occupying our
world. Their goal—and their entire race, too—is brought to an abrupt end, however, with
the disastrous destruction of their huge craft.

And the fact that Tunguska continues to play a major role in the world of sci-fi
only ensures that the fine line between fact and the fiction becomes even more indistinct
when it comes to this particular case. Donald R. Bensen’s 1978 novel And Having Writ
used the Tunguska story as a springboard for an amusing tale about stranded aliens who
are forced to jumpstart the technology of early 20" Century Earth as part of an attempt to
rebuild their stricken craft.

And the novels just keep on coming. Chekhov's Journey, written by Ian Watson
in1983, posited that the famous playwright Anton Chekhov knew the secret of the 1908
Tunguska explosion—that turns out to have been caused by Russian time-travelers. Two
years later, Bruce Sterling and Rudy Rucker’s story Storming the Cosmos depicted a

96

secret Soviet reconnaissance mission journeying to Tunguska and finding advanced
technology that is then incorporated into the Soviet space program.

In the world of sci-fi themed comic books the situation is much the same. In the
Marvel Comics spin-off of the 1987 movie Predator that starred Amold Schwarzenegger,
the Tunguska explosion is shrouded in mystery. Some of the characters in the story
conclude that the incident was due to the Predators themselves, who were attempting to
conceal their existence from the Human race by vaporizing their malfunctioning craft
high in the atmosphere. Others place the blame on Russian or American officials who, it
is theorized, destroy the alien spacecraft to prevent it from falling into the hands of the
scientific elite of each other's nations.

And perhaps inevitably, even The X-Files got into the act, too, with a two-part
story (titled Tunguska and Terma respectively), in which Mulder and his arch-foe, Alex
Krycek, are forced to work together and travel to Tunguska, where they learn that
materials recovered at the crash site contain a deadly substance known as “Black Oil”
that contains a microbial life form capable of infecting, and controlling, any and all living
creatures.

One hundred years on, the mystery of what did or did not occur at Tunguska, and
whether or not aliens really did meet their deaths in that remote, cold location is still
being highlighted, theorized and debated—in the worlds of both science-fact and science-
fiction.

Forensic Linguistics and the Majestic Documents

Dr. Robert M. Wood
Copyright 2008 Dr. Robert M. Wood

Since the 1984 arrival of the Eisenhower Briefing Document in the form of a roll of film,
existence of genuine government projects about UFOs has been challenged by claiming
that the documents are not authentic. In most cases the chain of custody, or provenance,
has been murky, and so the examination of the physical “leaked” document is rarely
useful. This morning, however, we will be examining a document on the original paper,
called the “Burned Memo” that is stamped TOP SECRET/M/J-12, and will be able to
share the amazing story that the document tells, albeit with some speculation. In addition,
we will be examining a document whose provenance is also murky but which was
allegedly written by Einstein, called the Einstein/Oppenheimer memo. Here we will
apply a number of linguistic techniques that have been used successfully in criminal
cases to shed light on the probable authors or non-authors of documents. We will be
beginning with this one.

Before we go on, here’s a summary of the topics for today in slide 2. First, some words
summarizing the overall scope of the “leaked” documents I have been studying; Second,
a treatment of linguistic assessment of the Einstein/Oppenheimer document to determine
authorship; third, an explanation and evaluation of the ten pages associated with the
“Burned Memo;” and finally some comments on the future of forensic techniques for
authenticating documents.

A little personal background is in order here. During my career at McDonnell Douglas, |
became exposed to the importance of trying to understand the technology of UFOs, but
except for a short period of time | spent most of my career managing conventional
research and development, designing thermal protection, analyzing radar systems, and
using advanced technology to help make the space station better, cheaper, or sooner.
However, when I retired I got a call from Stan Friedman who said that he had a guy in
Big Bear Lake writing to him about some documents he had, and asked if I would go visit
him since I lived closer? Thus, I went and met Tim Cooper and found that he was clearly
sitting on a good deal of interesting UFO information.

The next slide 3 shows the record of receipt of “leaked” documents mostly relating to the
Majestic Program. Shown here is a summary of the classified documents that have been
acquired over the years, showing the source, the date, the number of documents in the
delivery and the classification. TSMEO is an abbreviation for TOP SECRET/MAJIC
EYES ONLY, the R is for RESTRICTED, and C is for CONFIDENTIAL. All told there
are more than 100 documents representing almost 4000 pages, although probably 2/3 are
not classified at all, representing sensitive information at the time. TC is short for
Timothy Cooper, the recipient of many of these because of his many requests to

98

Government agencies regarding the JFK assassination as well as UFO requests. Today
we will be discussing only two of these. The first delivery by mail to Tim from Salina
included the Einstein/Oppenheimer memo of six pages. The other one from the CIA is
the “Burned Memo” in its entirety.

Next, shown in slide 4, is a list of some of the key documents in the same order as the last
chart. The documents themselves range from February 1942 to as late as a note written by
one of the sources in July 1999. Because of the numerous documents obtained by Cooper,
some skeptics have accused him of faking some if not all of these documents. We will
not deal with the issue in this talk except to note that there are numerous reasons to
conclude that he was not involved in that manner, and that we will be able to show that
he specifically was not the author of the Einstein memo. The “Burned Memo” will be
discussed later.

In June of 1996 Tim Cooper opened his mailbox and found, among other things, this note
(slide 5) from Salina together with 38 pages of materials. Remarkably, it had been placed
in his mailbox (combination lock) at the Post Office. The first two words of the second
line are not legible, so I guessed at “trial package” as shown on the next slide.

The more legible version of the note is shown here in slide 6. James Jesus Angleton was
the Director of the Counter Intelligence (DD/CI) in the CIA for many years. It is
interesting to speculate that Salina might have been the person who typed the questioned
document (QD) and saved a copy all these years. If she was, say, 21 in 1947, she would
have been 70 in 1996, and 82 today, watching us piece together history with interest.

The first page of the memo is shown on slide 7, after being received by Cooper. Not
appreciating the historical significance of this, and suspecting it was some kind of hoax,
he started to mark it up with a red pen, as shown. Even though Tim Cooper has been
shown to be a poor speller (Ref), he immediately noted the spelling error in celestrial, but
then circled the correct “r” in extraterrestrial. An identification of the typing and other
errors follows on the next slide.

This slide (8) shows the misspelled words on the left, and the changes that were made to
get a more legible copy. None of these changes would have or did influence the linguistic
testing, either in syntax or in word, sentence or syllable count. An entire copy of the
memo is included for your perusal at the end of this article. Other errors noted on the
right side of the slide include adding a missing verb, correcting the verb or noun to be
consistent with context. These errors may provide clues to whether this was typed from
shorthand, Einstein’s own written hand (in English or German). It is clear that the typist
was not a professional secretary, who would never have made such a careless array of
errors. One reason for getting so many errors would be that the only person “cleared” for
this work was directed to type it and just was not a very good speller. Furthermore, these
were the days of carbon paper, and typographic errors were often left to be fixed on the
next draft because erasing the error and retyping left a mess on the carbon copy.

99

Clearly, the six-page QD would today be called a “white paper,” a rather broad
speculative opinion from an expert on how a problem should be solved. The author was
responding to the question of how to handle the presence of aliens here in a rather broad
manner. The letter consists of seven paragraphs separated by five asterisks. This slide 9
attempts to summarize the essence of the thought or question for each. The last sentence
states that the measures that must be taken are apparent. However, this memo doesn’t
state clearly what they are.

Three people contributed to the results | am presenting, as shown in slide 10. Dr. Pace is
a talented physicist from an old Iron Curtain country, and Dr. Chaski is an increasingly
recognized expert in the field of forensic authorship attribution using computational
linguistics. Her techniques have been recognized in some courts, and they are based
primarily on syntax, or the arrangement or word forms to show their mutual relationship
in sentences. She uses up to 17 independent calculations of word relationships. We all
know about nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives — but there are sophisticated clausal and
phrase relations that individual authors choose to use. Other techniques use linguistic
stylometrics, which in general is less sophisticated but computes quantities like number
of syllables, length of words, and length of sentences and can provide impressive author
correlation. Forensic linguistics is a very sophisticated field. However, all the experts
take the strong position that you can never be 100% certain of someone being the author.

All the calculations of all of the methods require an excellent discipline for the input
material. (See slide 11.) The language is divided into characters and spaces. If it’s not a
space, it’s a character. Characters might be commas, periods, letters, question marks, or
any other symbol you can strike on the keyboard other than the space bar. Words are
defined as the number of characters between spaces as above. Analogously, sentences
consist of the number of words between the space at the beginning and that of the
characters at the end of the sentence, which could be a quote, a question mark, a period,
an exclamation point, a % or a closing parenthesis. However, not all of these will end a
sentence, so you have to either read the text yourself or have a very smart computer.
Some of the more stylometric quantities that use number of syllables in a word, such as
lexical density, fog indexes, or grade level equivalents, combine some of the basic
measured quantities.

There are four obvious people shown in slide 12 who might have written this memo:
Salina, Einstein, Oppenheimer or Cooper. We could get samples of writing of the last
three. My partner Ryan Wood took the initiative to contact the Institute of Advanced
Studies in Princeton and had them send him 21 documents prepared by Einstein and
typed by his secretary (together with another dozen that were in German and not typed).
In addition, they provided 14 typed documents prepared for Oppenheimer’s signature.
Cooper’s material was easy, since he had already shared with me a draft of a book titled
“The White Sands Proving Ground UFO Incidents ‘Of 1947: A Preliminary Report.” J just
copied the first 30 pages and used them as input. For the Einstein documents, | hired a
130 word/minute typist. The Oppenheimer documents were scanned and read from the
scan into a Microsoft Word document. To perform a computer analysis, it is essential to

100

have the material properly prepared, because if there are extra spaces, some processing
programs might be confused when computing sentence or word length.

The famous United Nations address (noted in slide 13) was so easily available that we did
not ask for a copy of the original from the Institute, and there is the remote possibility
that it was edited somewhat. This thought might be kept in mind until the original
document leaving the Institute can be located. This is a very good document to use for
comparison because the content and thrust of the ideas are highly related. Who speaks for
planet Earth? In addition, it’s long, was written for both scientists and politicians, and is
generally in the third person. Of the 21 references obtained, many are so short as not to
be representative of a longer piece like the QD. I think that really good reference samples
would be the first four shown above plus the U.N. address.

Einstein’s first two paragraphs for the U.N. talk call for a strong international
organization in slide 14. The last paragraphs reaffirm Einstein’s plea in slide 15.

The Institute of Advanced Studies also provided Ryan Wood 14 samples of
Oppenheimer’s work noted in slide 16. They were all simple letters, one of which was to
Einstein mildly criticizing him for quoting him incorrectly. Oppenheimer was Einstein’s
“boss” in the Institute.

When | first met Tim Cooper, he was finishing up a manuscript for one of the UFO
organizations in a big hurry. His computer didn’t have a spell checker at the time, and he
was not a good speller, Furthermore, although he did not so state in the report, many of
the more controversial points were based on the leaked documents he had received and
did not reference. This book, if cleaned up for spelling and occasional grammar errors,
would actually be a very nice contribution to the UFO literature in my opinion. (See slide
17.) 1 selected the first 30 pages (about 1/8 of the book) as a representative sample of his
writing. In hindsight, since it contained the Index and lots of names, | question whether
the second 30 pages might not have been a better choice.

Slide 18 shows the data that David Pace documented for the Einstein-Oppenheimer QD.
There seem to be differences in the use of the definitions in the counting process,
resulting in the three of us not getting exactly the same result.

Slide 19 presents Pace’s data for the U.N. letter written by Einstein.

Slide 20 compares the QD and the U.N. results and adds four more criteria which seem to
be similar, as noted by the % differences in the last column. Neither Wood nor Chaski

computed these criteria.

Carole Chaski, a noted forensic linguist, has developed a program called ALIAS
(Automated Linguistic Identification and Assessment System) which was the tool used to
develop the numbers in this report. She claims that her results are often accepted in court
trials to determine authorship. She emphases the definitions of syntax-related variables
show here, and then used her program to perform cross-correlations. However, she will

101

be the first to state that it is not possible to determine authorship with total certainty using
any of the methods. But, she thinks that hers has a very good track record. The variables
noted in slide 21 are important to understand because they are the column headings of
some of the program’s output and the basis of the determination of authorship relations.

This table 22 reflects the preliminary capability of the computer to discriminate between
the three known authors on the basis of their submitted works. The number shown is
essentially the number of different inputs from each source.

When the QD is compared by the ALIAS program in slide 23 against the known authors,
Cooper and Oppenheimer have no correlations at all, and so we can rule them out as
authors. However, if Einstein had been the author, Dr. Chaski thinks that the correlations
would have been higher than 27%, and is contemplating the possibility of a hoaxer.

The points in slide 24 are self-explanatory. However, the Wood scenario is that Einstein
was asked for his opinion by the CIA (which is where the draft allegedly came from) and
was either written in his good German or dictated and subsequently transcribed with the
only person available who could type, who was not a trained secretary. With that
scenario, points one, two and four (mentioned above) more or less go away, and we are
left with the few hypercorrection examples and the use of the word Pentateuch, which
require more research. An example of Einstein’s use of Pentateuch in the open literature
would be important.

The calculations performed by Bob Wood are shown in slide 25, although the
Oppenheimer numbers were partly based on Chaski’s final output. Several different
combinations of Einstein’s works were used at different times to assess the possible
impact of non-technical references or first person references as important. These
variables are still being evaluated at the time of this document preparation.

This slide 26 is particularly important because it shows the differences in results of the
three investigators. One would think that word length would not be that difficult to agree
upon, but it should not be computed using adjacent punctuation such as commas, quotes,
and a small variety of other terms. Different computer programs use different
assumptions, and Pace, Wood and Chaski were using different computer software for
their work. That is why it is important to compare the results for each investigator only
with their other work. Wood and Chaski seem to be a little closer on word length that
Pace. It is clear that Cooper and Oppenheimer are quite outside a credible range for
consideration. However, word length is but one of Chaski’s many variables, which ruled
out Cooper completely.

This slide (27) presents an analogous result for sentence length. Chaski’s informal
position based on her experience is that sentence length is not a particularly reliable
discriminator. This argument would be supported by the relatively close agreement of the
Oppenheimer and Cooper values, well within the scatter of the QD data, and they have
been essentially ruled out as authors.

102

One is always looking for a “zinger,” a word so rare as to be totally associable with one
author. The word that is obvious is Einstein’s use of the word supra-national in slide 28,
with or without the hyphen, in two of the cited documents and in the QD. Research on
the use of this word and that of the word Pentateuch continues.

If my earlier hypothesized scenario is credible, the issues noted on slide 29 would be
critical to interpretation and further analysis. Not discussed or analyzed is the typed note
at the end of the memo allegedly initialed by Vannevar Bush.

The “Burned Memo” began for me when I got an email from Tim Cooper. (See Slide 30.)

The McLean VA postmark noted in slide 31 was easily tracked to a meter authorized to
the CIA. The pages were accompanied by a one page transmittal note. The pages
themselves are all burned and had small tabs attached to each of them, for a total of eight
tabs. All of the pages show scorch marks. However, the pages don’t have them at the
same spots, thereby suggesting that the pages were thrown in the fire not attached to each
other or they were intentionally scorched.

In 2000 I submitted some of the original questioned documents to forensic examiners.
Included were several pages of the “Burned Memo.” The following report was issued by
Speckin dated January 30, 2001:

“Burned Documents. The watermarks on these documents are that of an eagle with a
shield. An enhancement of this is attached at attachment C. The manufacturer of the
paper could not be located. The red stamp ink is also not inconsistent with stamps ink that
was commercially available during that time frame. The typewriting is also consistent
with carbon transfer that was available at that time frame.” /s/ Erich J. Speckin, Forensic
Chemist. A scan of the watermark may be included. The information shown on slide 32
about James Black refers to the Bowen manuscript, “An Encyclopaedia of Flying
Saucers.”

This is the complete copy of the first page on slide 33, showing the MJ-12 caveat in red.
Since I have had it, some more of the little burned paper has flecked off. There is a note
in pencil that says, “original carbon.” It is reasonable to conjecture that this was dictated
by MJ-1 to one trusted secretary who had no need to understand it all. Therefore some of
the circumlocutions would themselves be designed to be cryptic to the secretary but not
to the addressees, who would presumably understand any jargon.

The first page of the memo shown in slide 34 was from the Director of the CIA, which
was MJ-1 according to both this memo and the Eisenhower Briefing Document. It was
being sent to only MJ-2 through 7, not the rest of them if MJ-8 through 12 were still
around and involved. By using the letters MJ in the line that talks about Project Majestic
and Project Jehovah, it is suggestive that this is the origin of the MJ label. It also
identifies Projects Eviro, Parasite, and Parhelion, to be mentioned later also. Other
documents suggest that whereas Majestic was the overall data collection project, that

103

Jehovah was the “reverse engineering” project, headed by none other than Albert
Einstein.

At the bottom of this first page, shown in slide 35 we have a pencil signature.
Unfortunately, I did not have this dated for pencil timeline. It originally said, “Do not
remove from safe ...Fritz for JJA.” | am hunting for an authentic copy of the signature of
Captain Fritz, the homicide officer in charge of the JFK assassination. The captain has a
reputation for not leaving his signature around much. The whole thrust of the “Burned
Memo” is to establish policy with respect to UFOs and JFK. James Jesus Angleton was
the guy in charge of CIA Counterintelligence for many years. Salina claims she worked
there for twenty years.

If you take the transmittal note shown on slide 36 at face value, he also says he worked
for Angleton, and that these 8 pages are the only ones connecting MJ-12 (not the CIA)
with JFK's murder. We all would like to know more about the scenario whereby the
leaker had the chance to rescue this memo from the fireplace, and why the burn marks are
not on the same positions on subsequent pages.

This is a personal transmission, relating Salina to the leaker to Timothy Cooper, who has
now retired from the UFO investigation field. (See slide 37.) You have seen Salina’s
transmittal note on Slide 5. The leaker says they have been “keeping the UFO community
busy.”

Each of the topics of the 8 tabs is discussed in sequence at shown in slide 38.

The first page of the memo on slide 39 puts the subject and question in context. One
should bear in mind that this top secret memo is communication between people who
already know a lot, and who do not wish to have the secretary typing the memo to know
everything, so there is obscure language here. For example, it begins, “In the context of
the above...” when what is above are five Project names that are even today not a matter
of record. Since MJ-1 is concerned with duplication of field activities, could each one of
them be run by a different agency recovering UFOs? The fewer the agencies, the fewer
the leaks. The seven pages that follow are presumably the “directives.” Known only to
the insiders, JFK was named Lancer, making inquiries “which we cannot allow.” This
group had been unhappy with the Cuban fiasco, knew he was sleeping with Marilyn
Monroe, and wasn’t keeping his mouth shut. Deadline is October, and it’s critical. If this
was 1963, the DCI would have been John McCone who would have presumably been the
new MJ-1, replacing Allen W. Dulles who was in charge in before October 1962.

The stick-on tabs were in extensive use in this time period, providing a ring of
authenticity. Dating the ink on them would undoubtedly show them to have been written
on in the 60s. The first Tab “A” deals with how to handle the issue if someone important
asks about UFOs, shown on slide 40. Find out why they’re asking and assure them that
UFOs are not a security threat. Their reason for this policy (no matter how many of our
planes had been lost) was to prevent the declaration of Department of Defense responses
to a “national security threat.” This way, they are kept less involved. Interestingly

104

enough, if there is overt hostility with widespread knowledge, there is a plan (if everyone
agrees) for “full disclosure in accordance with the law as required.” So, there’s a law?
Can we see it?

The second Tab “B” is straightforward. J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, knows a lot
and they need his help by granting him a need to know so he can keep the security in
place until they don’t need the FBI any more. It also implies that MJ-12 has its own spies
(back channels) inside the CIA. (See slide 41.)

Tab C deals with DoD 5200.1, a directive that specifically explains how to deal with the
UFO topic. Identified only two exceptions for all DoD agencies: the 54/12 subcommittee
of the National Security Council, and any Special Classified Executive Orders. The 54/12
group allegedly had the responsibility for coordinating covert activities within the DoD.
Slide 42 shows a photo of the tabs discussed earlier.

Blue Book apparently was specified in the National Intelligence Estimate, the highest
level intelligence assessment guiding overall policy. Blue Book was used to collect
information from the public, and then maybe figure out whom to silence or discredit. But
it also fooled the public into thinking that we really didn’t know what they were. (See the
points on slide 43.)

This use of the words freedom on information shown on slide 44 does not relate
specifically to the FOIA (Freedom on Information Act, 1966) and deals not with requests
from the public but from authorized people and institutions, such as Congressmen, White
House Staff, and other intelligence agencies. Bottom line: tell them nothing. This page
also shows a superb image of the CI stamps for the Counter Intelligence part of the CIA.
This stamp in principle could be easily authenticated if similar documents were available
from the CIA. (Not likely.)

Psychological operations units or PSYOPS have the green light to “interrogate and detain
any and all targets,” as noted on slide 45. One could easily argue that most of these
instructions are inherently unconstitutional.

The infection of some humans by some aliens has clearly occurred, and it is proper to
have a genuine worry about this problem. We seem to have conventional methods as
shown in slide 46, but if they don’t work, we have SPIKE, HOUSE CLEANING in major
population centers. If approved, these directives would activate two projects to conduct
DOMESTIC. We don’t know, of course, what these are but they don’t sound good. Some
of the work of MK-ULTRA used illegal mind control drugs.

Finally, Tab “H” on slide 47 makes it clear that if this group MJ-12 is going to lose their
money and authority, then they should try assassination of JFK. If “...the weather is
lacking any percipitation (sic) ...it should be wet.” Today it is well-known that this is a
cryptic order for assassination, but in 1963 that was known only to the intelligence
agencies. The KGB invented the word in their language, since during one botched
robbery that turned out killing the victim, the word for blood somehow got used. The

105

term “wet affairs” was a highly arcane phrase used by the KGB for assassination and did
not enter public parlance for many years.

In conclusion, the evidence is mounting that the UFO subject is at the very heart of the
most important issues in the country, and have been for a long time, even involving
Einstein before the Roswell crashes.

The complete text of the memo is included below. All errors have been fixed to improve
readability but do not significantly affect any of the linguistic analyses performed and
reported.

DRAFT June 1947
Relationships with Inhabitants of Celestial Bodies
Relationships with extraterrestrial men present no basically new problem from the
standpoint of international law; but the possibility of confronting intelligent beings
that do not belong to the human race would bring up problems whose solution it is
difficult to conceive.

in principle, there is no difficulty in accepting the possibility of coming to an
understanding with them, and of establishing all kinds of relationships. The difficulty
lies in trying to establish the principles on which these relationships should be based.

In the first place, it would be necessary to establish communication with them
through some language or other, and afterwards, as a first condition for all
intelligence, that they should have a psychology similar to that of men.

At any rate, international law should make place for a new law on a different
basis, and it might be called "Law Among Planetary Peoples," following the guidelines
found in the Pentateuch. Obviously, the idea of revolutionizing international law to the
point where it would be capable of coping with new situations would compel us to make a
change in its structure, a change so basic that it would no longer be international law,
that is to say, as it is conceived today, but something altogether different, so that it
could no longer bear the same name.

If these intelligent beings were in possession of a more or less culture, and a
more or less perfect political organization, they would have an absolute right to be
recognized as independent and sovereign peoples. We would have to come to an agreement
with them to establish the legal regulations upon which future relationships should be
based, and it would be necessary to accept many of their principles.

Finally, if they should reject all peaceful cooperation and become an imminent
threat to the earth, we would have the right to legitimate defense, but only insofar as
would be necessary to annul] this danger.

*~eeee

Another possibility may exist, that a species of Homo sapiens might have
established themselves as an independent nation on another celestial body in our solar
System and evolved culturally independently from ours. Obviously, this possibility
depends on many circumstances whose conditions cannot yet be foreseen. However, we can
make a study of the basis on which such a thing might have occurred.

In the first place, living conditions on these bodies, let’s say the moon, or the
Planet Mars, would have to be such as to permit a stable, and to a certain extent,
independent life, from an economic standpoint. Much has been speculated about the
possibilities for life existing outside of our atmosphere and beyond, always
hypothetically, and there are those who go so far as to give formulas for the creation of
an artificial atmosphere on the moon, which undoubtedly have a certain scientific
foundation, and which may one day come to light. Let’s assume that magnesium silicates on
the moon may exist and contain up to 13 per cent water. Using energy and machines brought
to the moon, perhaps from a space station; the rocks could be broken up, pulverized, and
then baked to drive off the water of crystallization. This could be collected and then
decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, using an electric current or the short wave
radiation of the sun. The oxygen could be used for breathing purposes; the hydrogen might
be used as a fuel.

In any case, if no existence is possible on celestial bodies except for
enterprises for the exploration of their natural riches, with a continuous interchange of
the men who work on them, unable to establish themselves there indefinitely and be able
to live isolated lives, independence will never take place.

i ae

Now we come to the problem of determining what to do if the inhabitants of

celestial bodies, or extraterrestrial biological entities (EBE), desire to settle here.

106

1. If they are politically organized and possess a certain culture similar to our
own, they may be recognized as an independent people. They could consider what degree of
development would be required on earth for colonizing.

2. If they consider our culture to be devoid of political unity, they would have
the right to colonize. Of course, this colonization cannoz be conducted on classic lines.

A superior form of colonizing will have to be conceived, that could be a kind of
tutelage, possibly through the tacit approval of the United Nations. But would che United
Nations legally have the right of allowing such tutelage over us in such a fashion?

(a) Although the United Nations is an international organization, there is no
doubt that it woula have no right of tutelage, since its domain does not extend beyona
relationships between its members. It would have the right to intervene oniy if the
relationships of a member nation with a celestial body affected another member nation
with an extraterrestrial people beyond the domain of the United Nations. But if these
relationships entailed a conflict with another member nation, the United Nations would
have the right to intervene.

(b) If the United Nations were a supra-national organization, it would have
competency to deal with all problems related to extraterrestrial peoples. Of course, even
though 1t is merely an international organization, it could have this competence if its
member states would be willing to recognize it.

ie

It is difficult to predict what the attitude of international law will be with
regard to the occupation by celestial peoples of certain iocations on our planet, but the
only thing that can be foreseen is that there will be a profound change in traditional
concepts.

Ye cannot exclude the possibility that a race of extraterrestrial people more
advanced technologically and economically may take upon itself the right to occupy
another celestial body. How, then, would this occupation come about?

1. The idea of exploitation by one celestial state would be rejected; they may
think it would be advisable to grant it to all others capable of reaching another
celestiai body. But this would be to maintain a situation of privilege for these states.

2. The division of a celestial body into zones and the distribution of them among
other celestial states. This would present the problem of distribution. Moreover, other
celestial states would be deprived of the possibility of owning an area, or if they were
granted one it would involve complicated operations.

3. Indivisible co-sovereignty, giving each celestial state the right cto make
whatever use is most convenient to its interests, independently of the others. This would
create a situation of anarchy, as the strongest one would win out in the end.

4. A moral entity? The most feasible solution it seems would be this one: submit
an agreement providing for the peaceful absorption of a celestial race(s) in such a
manner that our culture would remain intact with guarantees that their presence not be
revealed.

Actually, we do not believe it necessary to go that far. It would merely be a
matter of internationalizing celestial peoples, and creating an international treaty
instrument preventing exploitation of all nations belonging to the United Nations.

~“*eee

Occupation by states here on earth, which has lost ali interest for international

law, since there were no more res nullius territories, is beginning to regain all its

importance in cosmic international law.

Occupation consists in the appropriation by a state of res nullius.

Until the last century, occupation was the normal means of acquiring sovereignty
over territories, when explorations made possible the discovery of new regions, either
uninhabited or in an elementary state of civilization.

The imperialist expansion of the states came to an end with the end of regions
capable of being occupied, which have now been drained from the earth and exist only in
interplanetary space, where the celestial states present new problems.

_*ee*

Res nullius is something that belongs to nobody such as the moon. in international
law a celestial body not subject to the sovereignty of any state is considered res
nullius. If it could be established that a celestial body within our solar system such as
our moon was, or is occupied by another celestial race, there could be no claim of res
nullius by any state on earth (if that state should decide in the future to send
explorers to lay claim to it). It would exist as res communis, that is that all celestial
states have the same rights over it.

rreee

And now to the final question of whether the presence of celestial astroplanes in
our atmosphere is a direct result of our testing atomic weapons?

The presence of unidentified space craft flying in our atmosphere (and possibly
Maintaining orbits about our planet) is now, however, accepted as de facto by our
military.

On every question of whether the United States will continue testing of fission
bombs and develop fusion devices (hydrogen bombs), or reach an agreement to disarm and

107

the exclusion of weapons that are too destructive, with the exception of chemical
warfare, on which, by some miracle we cannot explain, an agreement has been reached, the
lamentations of philosophers, the efforts of politicians, and the conferences of
diplomats have been doomed to failure and have accomplished nothing.

The use of the atomic bomb combined with space vehicles poses a threat on a scale
which makes it absolutely necessary to come to an agreement in this area. The appearance
of unidentified space vehicles (opinions are sharply divided as to their origin) over the
skies of Europe and the United States has sustained an irrational fear, an anxiety about
security, that is driving the great powers to make an effort to find a solution to the
threat.

Military strategists foresee the use of space craft with nuclear warheads as the
ultimate weapon of war. Even the deployment of artificial satellites for intelligence
gathering and target selection is not far off. The military importance of space vehicles,
satellites as well as rockets is indisputable, since they project war from the horizontal
piane to the vertical plane in its fullest sense. Attack no longer comes from an
exclusive direction, nor from a determined country, but from the sky, with the practical
impossibility of determining who the aggressor is, how to intercept the attack, or how to
effect immediate reprisals. These problems are compounded further by identification. How
does the air defense radar operator identify, or more precisely, classify his target?

At present, we can breathe a little easier knowing that slow moving bombers are
the mode of delivery of atomic bombs that can be detected by long-range early warning
radar. But what do we do in iet’s say ten years from now? When artificial satellites and
missiles find their place in space, we must consider the potential threat that
unidentified space craft pose. One must consider the fact that mis-identification of
these space craft for an intercontinental missile in a re-entry phase of flight could
lead to accidental nuclear war with horrible consequences.

Lastly, we should consider the possibility that our atmospheric tests of late
could have influenced the arrival of celestial scrutiny. They could have been curious or
even alarmed by such activity (and rightly so, for the Russians would make every effort
to observe and record such tests).

In conclusion, it is our professional opinion based on submitted data that this
Situation is extremely perilous, and the measures that must be taken to rectify a very
serious problem are very apparent.

Respectfully, /s/ Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer Director of Advanced Studies
Princeton, New Jersey
/s/ Professor Albert Einstein Princeton, New Jersey

Myself and Marshall have read this and I must admit there is some logic. But I
hardly think the President will consider it for the obvious reasons. I understand
Oppenheimer approached Marshall while they attended ceremony at Princeton. As I
understand it Marshall rebuffed the idea of Oppenheimer discussing this with the
President. I talked to Gordon, and he agreed.

The Nazification of America

By Jim Marrs
Copyright 2008: Jim Marrs

Excerpted from the book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich (New Y ork: HarperCollins
Publishers, 2008)

Most Americans don’t realize it but they have been living in a state of emergency
since Sept.14, 2001, just after 9/11. President George W. Bush stated: “I hereby declare
that the national emergency has existed since September 11, 2001, and pursuant to the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.).”

With this declaration, a “Shadow Government”—created for “continuity in
government” during the Reagan administration by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and
George Herbert Walker Bush—took control of the United States.

The War on Terrorism, to include unprovoked attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq
based on “faulty intelligence” at best and outright lies at worst, follows the classic pattern
of using fear to control a population. During the Nuremberg Trials, Nazi Reichsmarschall
Hermann Goering explained, "Why of course the people don't want war... That is
understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is
always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people
can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to
tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger."

The Military Commissions Act, which created tribunals similar to the Nazi
Special Courts); the PATRIOT Act, which authorized $150 million in tax money for the
“expansion of the Regional Information Sharing System,” a database like Hitler required
for both gun and population control, were the 21" century version of Hitler’s 1933
Enabling Act.

The Real ID Act and the rapid growth of surveillance technology to include the
VeriChip, studies of which indicated it causes cancer in lab animals, raised fears of a
totalitarian “Big Brother” state. In early 2006, such fear of microchip implants gained
substance as when a Cincinnati video surveillance firm, CityWatcher.com, began to
require its employees to implant the VeriChip device in their arm.

Other technology—to include ubiquitous video cameras in public places, face
recognition technology, the computer surveillance system called Echalon and the High-
Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) near Gakona, Alaska, have
produced a growing fear that America is becoming a Fourth Reich.

To determine if there is any truth to this allegation, one must first understand the
definitions of the words being used as well as take a look at history.

117

The word Reich is simply the German word for empire. No one can deny that
following the reported collapse of communism, America has become the world’s
preeminent empire—at least form a military standpoint. Interestingly, with a lower case
“r” the word “reich” means wealthy or rich.

So it is no stretch of the language to view a “Reich” as an empire of the wealthy.

The First Reich is known as the Holy Roman Empire—The Second Reich was
created by Prince Otto von Bismarck, who as premier of Prussia defeated Napoleon III in
1871 and became the “Iron Chancellor” over about 300 independent states. Bismarck’s
Reich, toward the end headed by Kaiser Wilhelm II, lasted until 1918 with the defeat of
the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War I.—Hitler’s Nazi
empire was the Third Reich.

The German term “Nationalsozialistiche,” or National Socialist was shortened to
the acronym “Nazi,” a word that has become synonymous with totalitarianism and
fascism.

Italian dictator Benito Mussolini is credited with coining the word fascism,
defined by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language as “a philosophy
or system of government that advocates or exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right,
typically through the merging of state and business leadership together with an ideology
of belligerent nationalism.”

Fascism is a name taken from Mussolini’s Black Shirts called Fascisti. This term
derived from the ancient Roman symbol of the fasces, a bundle of rods with a protruding
axe blade. It was the symbol of central authority. Under fascism, the individual is
subordinate to the state, usually headed by a single leader.

However, even Mussolini pointed out that the real term should be “corporatism.”
“The first stage of fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is
the merger of State and corporate power,” declared Mussolini.

Can anyone today argue that the United States has not come under the control of
giant multinational corporations? The question is who controls these corporate giants?

The only real difference between fascist Italy and Nazi Germany is that in those
European nations the state gained control over the corporations. In modern American, the
corporations have gained control over the state.

The end result is the same.

"The maxim that society exists only for the well-being and freedom of the
individuals composing it does not seem to be in conformity with nature's plans....If
classical liberalism spells individualism, Fascism spells government,” Mussolini
proclaimed.

“It is important to recognize that, as an economic system, fascism was widely
accepted in the 1920s and '30s. The evil deeds of individual fascists were later
condemned, but the practice of economic fascism never was,” wrote Thomas J.
DiLorenzo, Professor of Economics at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland.

The reason for this acceptance of fascism was rampant fear of communism, a
virulent version of Socialism advocating public ownership of all means of production,
distribution and exchange.

What people fail to understand and history fails to reveal in plain language is that
the Socialism in Russia, which swiftly tured into communism, was the creation of
international financiers in Britain and America.

118

Wall Street effectively created communism. In January 1917, Leon Trotsky, a
fervent follower of Karl Marx, was living rent free on Standard Oil property in Bayonne,
New Jersey.

One banker who helped fund Trotsky’s travel to Russia at the time of the
revolution there was Jacob Schiff, whose family had lived with the Rothschild family in
Frankfurt, Germany. Schiff, a Rockefeller banker, had financed the Japanese in the 1904-
05 Russo-Japanese war for control of Manchuria and had sent his emissary, George
Kennan, to Russia to promote revolution against the Czar. Schiff;s grandson, John Schiff,
estimated that the elder Schiff spent about $20 million to insure the success of
Bolshevism in Russia.

Another supporter was Senator Elihu Root, attorney for Federal Reserve founder
Paul Warburg’s Kuhn, Loeb & Company. Root, an honorary president of the secretive
Council on Foreign Relations and a former U.S. secretary of state who moved smoothly
between government positions and his law practice in New York City, contributed yet
another $20 million, according to the Congressional Record of September 2, 1919.

Schiff and Root were not alone. Arsene de Goulevitch, who was present during
the early days of the Bolsheviks, later wrote, “In private interviews, I have been told that
over 21 million rubles were spent by Lord [Alfred] Milner in financing the Russian
Revolution.” Milner, a German-born British statesman, was the primary force behind
Cecil Rhodes’ Round Tables, a predecessor of the Council on Foreign Relations.

The American International Corporation (AIC), formed in 1915, helped fund the
Russian Revolution. AIC directors represented the interests of the Rockefellers,
Rothschilds, DuPonts, Kuhns, Loebs, Harrimans and the Federal Reserve as well as
Federal Reserve founder Frank Vanderlip and George Herbert Walker, the maternal
grandfather of President George W. Bush.

Trotsky’s Russia-bound ship loaded with revolutionaries was stopped in Halifax
by Canadian authorities but released on orders of British admiralty under Winston
Churchill and with passport authorized by Pres. Woodrow Wilson.

Lenin also left his temporary home in Switzerland for Russia, aided by wealthy
Germans and accompanied by about 150 trained revolutionaries. The train passed through
Germany unhindered as arranged by German banker Max Warburg—the brother of Paul
Warburg who founded the Federal Reserve System and handled U.S. financing during
World War I—and the German High Command. Lenin, like Trotsky, was labeled a
German agent by the government of Alexander Kerensky, the second provisional
government created following the Czar’s abdication. By November, 1917, Lenin and
Trotsky, backed by Western funds, had instigated a successful revolt and seized the
Russian government for the Bolsheviks.

The Bolshevik Revolution was financed by some of the world’s richest and most
powerful men. It appeared as though they were financing a movement based on the ideal
of stripping the wealth from men like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Schiffs, Warburgs,
Morgans, Harrimans and Milners. The idea apparently was to create a Socialist society in
Russia centrally ruled by the communist elite party members and pit this creation against
the capitalist West, a both-ends-against-the-middle strategy so successfully employed by
the Rothschilds in Europe for more than a century.

However, as communism mutated into a worldwide Socialist movement following
the 1919 assembly of the Third International in Moscow with the cry, “Workers of the

119

world, Unite!” its capitalist founders grew fearful that their creation was getting out of
hand. This fear intensified with the death of Lenin and the rise of the dictator Joseph
Stalin and caused these early-day globalists to turn to German nationalists.

They funded the rise of National Socialism in Germany and saw an armed Greater
Germany as the most effective barrier to communism in Europe. National Socialism was
a form of socialism almost indistinguishable from communism, only it was confined
within national geographic boundaries. Under National Socialism, the globalists could
continue to pit the various nations against each other.

Just after World War I, the Thule Society, a group of wealthy and aristocratic
Germans interested in the occult, encouraged Munich locksmith and toolmaker Anton
Drexler to form the German Worker’s Party, which soon included German Army
Intelligence Agent Adolf Hitler, who reported to Captain Karl Mayr and got funding from
both the military and the Thulists. In April, 1920, Hitler changed the party’s name to the
Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, the National Socialist German Workers
Party.

The Thule Society, served as a front for the even more secretive Germanorden or
German Order, a reincarnation of the old Teutonic Knights, that had branches throughout
Germany patterned after Masonic lodges. It is believed that these lodges carried on the
agenda of the outlawed Bavarian Illuminati, with its fundamental maxim that “The end
justifies the means.” In other words, members should pretend to be anything or anybody,
adopt any philosophy, tell any lie, steal, cheat, even kill as long as it accomplishes the
society’s objectives.

The intertwining of American capitalism with German corporations began
following World War I with two programs—the Dawes Plan (1924) and the Young Plan
(1928). Both plans, engineered in America, virtually guaranteed success for the fledgling
Nazi Party.

And it was the same wealthy businessmen in Western industrial and banking
circles that had created a Socialist system in Russia that supported Hitler’s rapid rise to
power. The 1931 collapse of the German economy due to the withdrawal of American
loans from institutions such a J.P. Morgan and National City Bank, headed by John J.
McCloy, pushed frightened Germans into the arms of Hitler and his Nazis.

After Hitler lost a popular election to Hindenburg in 1932, thirty-nine business
leaders, with familiar names like Krupp, Siemens, Thyssen and Bosch—all with close
business connections in Britain and America—signed a petition urging the aged President
Paul von Hindenburg to name Hitler Chancellor. This proposal was engineered in
January, 1933, through a compromise with German aristocrats, industrialists and Army
officers brokered by banker Baron Kurt Freiherr von Schroeder. Von Schroeder, who was
business partners with the Rockefellers, employed the New York law firm Sullivan and
Cromwell to represent his interests. His lawyers included John Foster and Allen Dulles.

By 1936, the Schroeder Bank of New York had entered into a partnership with the
Rockefellers. Named Schroeder, Rockefeller and Company, Investment Bankers, the firm
became what Time magazine called the economic booster of “the Rome-Berlin Axis.”
“Avery Rockefeller owned 42 percent of Schroeder,” reported New York Times writer
Charles Higham. “Their lawyers were John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles of Sullivan
and Cromwell. Allen Dulles (later of the Office of Strategic Services) was on the board of
Schroeder.”

120

On New Year’s Day, 1924, the financial fate of Germany was settled in London at
a meeting between Hjalmar Schacht, the new Reich Commissioner for National
Currency, and Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England. Loans approved
which continued through the 1930s with most of the money channeled through the Bank
of International Settlements, the hub of the banking world.

Three Wall Street houses—Dillon, Read; Harris, Forbes; and National City
Bank—handled three-quarters of the reparation loans used to create the German cartel
system, including the dominant I.G. Farben and Vereinigte Stahlwerke, which together
produced 95 percent of the explosives for the Nazi side in World War II.”

I.G. Farben had subsidiaries, offices and representatives in 93 countries, including
the United States. Paul Manning, a CBS news correspondent in Europe during World
War II, explained Hermann Schmitz’s connections by pointing out that the Farben chief
once “held as much stock in Standard Oil of New Jersey as did the Rockefellers.” By the
time war began in 1939, I.G. Farben had doubled in size, became the largest chemical
manufacturing enterprise in the world. gaining participation and managerial control over
380 other German companies as well as more than 500 foreign firms. This growth was
made possible by bond sales in America, including one for $30 million offered by
National City Bank, a forerunner of today’s Citibank

Walter C. Teagle, chairman of Standard Oil of New Jersey, arranged sale of
tetraethy] lead, an additive used in aviation gasoline to Germany. The result was that
Hitler’s air force was rendered capable of bombing London, the city that had provided the
supplies. Also, by supplying Japan with tetraethyl, Teagle helped make it possible for the
Japanese to wage World War II.”

Teagle, together with Farben chief Schmitz, hired famed New York publicist Ivy
Lee to pass proprietary information on American companies to Germany and to spin
news stories so as to gloss over the darker side of Nazism. By the late 1930s, Lee was
being paid $25,000 a year for disseminating pro-Nazi propaganda in America. Payments
to Lee came from a Farben U.S. subsidiary, American 1.G., and moved through Lee’s
company account with Chase Bank and his personal account at New York Trust
Company.

Another solid conduit for Nazi propaganda and intelligence activities was the
Hamburg-Amerika shipping line. Max Warburg, that Deutsche Bank official who had
assisted in moving Lenin through wartime Germany, sat on board of Hamburg-Amerika
Steamship Line along with Prescott Bush, father and grandfather of two future U.S.
presidents. Max Warburg was the brother of Paul Warburg, America’s first chairman of
the Federal Reserve System and the man in charge of U.S. finances in World War I.

Throughout World War II, the bank of Baron von Schroeder acted as financial
agents for Germany in both Britain and the United States. Antony C. Sutton described
how John Foster Dulles handled Schroeder banks loans in the USA. In fact, Dulles, in
addition to providing legal services to a joint Rockefeller-Schroeder investment firm, the
Schroeder-Rockefeller Company, also sat on the board of directors of General Aniline
and Film (GAF) from 1927 to 1934. GAF remained a subsidiary of I. G. Farben.
Schroeder, the powerful head of the J. H. Stein & Company banking house of Cologne,
had long provided financial support to the Nazis in hopes they would counteract the
spread of communism.

12]

Illustrating further interconnecting business associations of this time was
International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT) German Chairman Gerhardt Westrick, a
close associate of John Foster Dulles, who was a partner to Dr. Heinrich Albert, head of
Ford Motor Co. in Germany until 1945. Two ITT directors were German banker
Schroeder and Walter Schellenberg, head of counterintelligence for the Nazi Gestapo or
Secret State Police. America’s International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. sold Germany
communication and war material, including as many as 50,000 artillery fuses per month,
more than three years after Pear] Harbor.

More interconnecting business ties between America and the Nazis can be seen by
studying the Rockefeller-owned Chase National Bank now Chase Manhattan, the largest
corporate bank in the United States. The Rockefellers owned Standard Oil of New Jersey,
the German accounts of which were siphoned through their own bank, the Chase, as well
as through the independent National City Bank of New York which also handled
Standard, Sterling Products, General Aniline and Film [part of the I.G. Farben combine],
SKF [Swedish Enskilda Bank], and ITT, whose chief, Sosthenes Behn, was a director of
NCB. Two executives of Standard Oil’s German subsidiary were Kar] Lindemann and
Emil Helfferich, prominent figures in SS Chief Heinrich Himmler’s Circle of Friends of
the Gestapo—its chief financiers—and close friends and colleagues of the BIS’s Baron
von Schroeder. According to the book Trading with the Enemy, in 1944, Standard Oil
tankers were still refueling German U-Boats in the Caribbean thanks to interlocking
connections with the German subsidiary.

International Business Machines [IBM], and its chairman Thomas J. Watson.
Using recently discovered Nazi documents and the testimony of former Polish workers,
Black found that IBM technology was passed not only through the company’s German
subsidiary, Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen Gesellschaft (Dehomag), but to a great extent
through a subsidiary in Poland, Watson Business Machines in Warsaw, which reported
directly to the IBM New York headquarters. Data processing allowed the roundup and
extermination of the Jews and dissenters to the Nazi regime.

At the beginning of January, 1933, Germany was free republic. Hitler went
against tradition by choosing not work out of an office in the German Reichstag or
Parliament building and on February 27, 1933, the Reichstag was gutted by fire. Less
than a month later, on March 24, 1933, after Hitler proclaimed the fire the work of
communist terrorists, a panicky German Parliament voted 441 to 94 to pass an “Enabling
Act” which became the starting point for Hitler’s dictatorship.

“When Germany awoke,” wrote British reporter Douglas Reed, “a man’s home
was no longer his castle. He could be seized by private individuals, could claim no
protection from the police, could be indefinitely detained without preferment of charge;
his property could be seized, his verbal and written communications overheard and
perused; he no longer had the right to foregather with his fellow countrymen, and his
newspapers might no longer freely express their opinions.”

Hitler’s globalist backers became apprehensive as the German Fuehrer took over
one portion of Europe at a time until it led to the invasion of Poland which started World
War II. It is instructive that Hitler did not invade Poland without pretext. In a classinc
“false-flag” operation, German soldiers dressed in Polish uniforms attacked a German
radio station on the border of Poland. Claiming that he was forced to retaliate for this
attack, Hitler sent his tanks into Poland, then the Low Countries and on into France.

122

As the globalists hope to control the Third Reich grew dim, they allowed
American law enforcement agencies to disrupt the economic support for Hitler.

On October 20, 1942, the US Alien Property Custodian, operating under the
“Trading With the Enemy Act” (U.S. Government Vesting Order No. 248), seized the
shares of Union Banking Corporation (UBC) on the grounds that the bank was financing
Hitler. Handling the Nazi assets was bank director Prescott Bush. Also seized were
Bush’s holdings in the Hamburg-America shipping line that had been used to ferry Nazi
propagandists and arms.

Another company essential to the passing of Nazi money was the Holland
American Trading Company, a subsidiary of UBC. It was through Fritz Thyssen’s Dutch
bank, originally founded by Thyssen’s father in 1916, that Nazi money was passed. This
Dutch connection tied the Bush and Nazi money directly to former SS officer and founder
of the Bilderbergers, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who was once secretary to the
board of directors of 1.G. Farben with close connections to the Dutch bank. Thyssen did
not need any foreign bank accounts because his family secretly owned an entire chain of
banks. At the end of the war, he transferred ownership documents, such as stocks, bonds,
deeds and trusts, from his bank in Berlin through his bank in Holland to his American
representatives Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker.

The leading shareholder in UBC was E. Roland Harriman, son of Edward H.
Harriman, who had been an early and important mentor to Prescott Bush. Another son,
Averell Harriman, also held ownership in UBC. He was named Ambassador to the Soviet
Union by President Roosevelt in 1943 and participated in all major wartime conferences.
Averell later became Ambassador to London, U.S. secretary of commerce, and governor
of New York State. Both Harrimans had been members of the Yale secret society Skull
and Bones and were closely connected to the globalists at the Council on Foreign
Relations.

On November 17, 1942, US authorities also seized the Silesian-American
Corporation, managed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker,
and charged the firm with being a Nazi front company that was supplying vital coal to
Germany. But according to government documents that have recently come to light and
were published by the New Hampshire Gazette in 2003, “the grandfather of President
George W. Bush, failed to divest himself of more than a dozen ‘enemy national’
relationships that continued as late as 1951.” The newly-released documents also showed
that Bush and his associates routinely tried to conceal their business activities from
government investigators and that such dealings were conducted through the New York
private banking firm of Brown Brothers Harriman. Brown Brothers Harriman, the oldest
privately owned bank in America, was formed in 1931 when the Brown brothers,
originally importers of Irish linen, merged with railroad tycoon Edward H. Harriman.

“After the war,” according to the Gazefte report, “a total of 18 additional Brown
Brothers Harriman and UBC-related client assets were seized under the Trading with the
Enemy Act including several that showed the continuation of a relationship with the
Thyssen family after the initial 1942 seizures. The records also show that Bush and the
Harrimans conducted business after the war with related concerns doing business in or
moving assets into Switzerland, Panama, Argentina and Brazil—all critical outposts for
the flight of Nazi capital after Germany’s surrender in 1945.”

Following Germany’s military successes in Europe, North Africa and Russia,
these globalists realized they faced the same problem they had with the communists. A
total German victory would result in a worldwide National Socialist system unable to
produce the tensions and conflicts necessary for maximizing profit and control. They also
may have feared that Stalin’s Russia was about to launch an attack on Western Europe.
Only Hitler’s Germany had the strength to prevent this. In June, 1941, a month before the
expected attack by Russia, Hitler launched Barbarossa, the grand assault on Russia, as a
pre-emptive strike.

In a speech to the Reichstag on December 11, 1941, Hitler explained, “Only a
blind person could fail to see that a military build-up of unique world-historical
dimensions was being carried out. And this was not in order to protect something that
was being threatened, but rather only to attack that which seemed incapable of defense ...
I may say this today: If the wave of more than 20,000 tanks, hundreds of divisions, tens
of thousands of artillery pieces, along with more than 10,000 airplanes, had not been kept
from being set into motion against the Reich, Europe would have been lost ...”

Apparently, Hitler’s decision to allow the British forces to escape at Dunkirk was
in hopes of gaining Britain as an ally against Russia and See/owe or Sea Lion, the code
name for the proposed German invasion of England, was a sham designed to misdirect
Stalin as to his coming strike in the East.

The strange flight of Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess, in May, 1941, may have been a
genuine secret plan to ally with the British royals, oust Prime Minister Winston Churchill
and make peace between England and Germany. But when Hess missed his prearranged
landing spot, ran out of fuel and was captured after parachuting from his Messerschmitt,
the secret scheme was compromised and all involved disavowed any knowledge of Hess,
who was declared a madman by both Hitler and Churchill.

The wealthy elite’s decision to tum their back on Hitler may have begun with the
disaster of Hess’s mission. The globalists realized that Hitler and the Germans must be
stopped, not because of their National Socialist philosophy, but because they represented
a threat to their economic dominancy. Winston Churchill clarified their position when he
once remarked, “You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National
Socialism, but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once
and for all, regardless whether it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest.”

Another concern of the globalists over the ascendancy of the German Nazis was
their incredible technology, possibly gained through early-day efforts at what is know
called remote viewing, the psychic ability to view over long distances with only the mind.
There are reports that the Nazi conducted a program of psychic research under the name
“Doktor Gruenbaum.” It is believed that these psychics, or spiritualists, made contact
with non-human intelligences through which they gained new and advanced technology.

Interestingly, the Nazi program which included psychic research and energ
manipulation projects such as flying saucers and the infamous Nazi “Bell,” was called
“Majik.” This name immediately brings to mind the initial name of the group reportedly
in charge of the effort to both understand yet publicly deny the existence of UFOs —
Majic-12.

A cursory look at the men identified as the original MJ-12 group as well as their
corporate and intelligence connections clearly indicates the potential for such a high-level
contro] group.

124

As listed in the documents, MAJESTIC-12 members included:

--- Adm. Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, a 1919 graduate of the Naval Academy, was
familiar with both intelligence work and the Nazis, having worked undercover for a year
in Vichy, France. After serving as the third Director of Central Intelligence, he became
the first director of the CIA upon its formation in September, 1947, obviously a good
choice for a top-secret group like MJ-12. After his retirement from government,
Hillenkoetter joined the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena
(NICAP), a private UFO group, and stated publicly that UFOs were real and “through
official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects
are nonsense.”

--- Dr. Vannevar Bush, an imminent American scientist who in 1941 organized
the National Defense Research Council and in 1943, the Office of Scientific Research
and Development which led to the production of the first atomic bomb, was another
prime candidate for a high-level group dealing with space. He also was a close friend to
Averell Harriman, the U.S. Ambassador to Russia who had ownership in Union Banking
Corporation along with Prescott Bush. It is unclear if Vannevar Bush was a relative of the
Presidents Bush family. In 1949, the U.S. Intelligence Board asked Bush to study ways
of combing intelligence from all agencies. Bush’s plan was initiated by America’s first
Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, also listed as an MJ-12 member. Bush's
connections to the corporate world were deep and many. In 1922, Bush, along with his
former roommate Laurence K. Marshall and scientist Charles G. Smith formed American
Appliance Company, today known as the powerful Raytheon Corporation heralded in
company literature as an “industry leader in defense and government electronics, space,
information technology, technical services and business aviation and special mission
aircraft.” Bush joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1919 and in
1936 was awarded a major grant by the Rockefeller Foundation. His work during World
War II resulted in the development of the Rockefeller Differential Analyzer, an analog
mainframe computer composed of 2,000 vacuum tubes and 150 motors. Bush also served
on the board of directors of the Metals and Controls Corporation which in 1959 merged
with Texas Instruments to become the first U.S. Government-approved fabricator of
uranium rods. Bush also was a presence in the corporate world of pharmaceuticals,
eventually becoming Chairman of the Board of Merck & Co., one of the world’s most
powerful drug companies. Merck has been among the leaders in researching the Human
Genome, the DNA structure which forms cells into humans. Bush also was connected to
the Carnegie wealth, serving as president of the Camegie Institute from 1935 to 1955.

--- James V. Forrestal, prior to World War I, was a bond salesman for William A.
Read & Co., later to become Dillon, Read & Co. After the war, he returned to Read &
Co. and by 1937 was named President. This was at a time when Dillon & Read were the
most profitable of all Wall Street syndicate managers handling German industrial issues
in the U.S. capital market. In 1957, Fortune magazine named Clarence Dillon as one of
the wealthiest men in America with a fortune estimated fortune of between $150 and
$200 million. Recall that Russell A. Nixon, the young attorney for the U.S. Military
Government Cartel Unit who tried to break up the Nazi corporate syndicates at the end of
the war, was blocked in his efforts by Brig. Gen. William H. Draper, who along with
Forrestal was an officer of Dillon, Read. According to Sutton, “Banker William Draper,
as Brigadier General William Draper, put his control team together from businessmen

125

who had represented American business in pre-war Germany.” Forrestal also sat on the
board of General Aniline and Film (GAF), a subsidiary of 1.G. Farben with 91.5 percent
ownership by the brother-in-law of Farben chairman Hermann Schmitz. Heading GAF
was a Rudolf Ilgner, who near the ourbreak of war offered the U.S. Army Agfa film at a
low price for photographing the Panama Canal and other defense installations. “I]gner
has a sense of humor,” noted author Higham. “He gave the American government copies
of the movies and still photographs and kept the originals, which were shipped via the
Hamburg-Amerika steamship line [part ownership by Prescott Bush]. The president of
this company was Julius P. Meyer, head of the Board of Trade for German-American
Commerce, whose chairman was --- Rudolf Ilgner.” Forrestal became secretary of
defense in July, 1947 --- the time of the Roswell incident --- but resigned in March, 1949,
a month before he reportedly committed suicide at Bethesda Naval Hospital. He claimed
he was being followed by Zionist agents. His MJ-12 position was permanently filled by
General Walter B. Smith.

--- General Walter Bedell Smith had been Eisenhower’s chief of staff and former
U.S. Ambassador to Moscow, replacing W. Averell Harriman. In 1950, he replaced
Admiral Hillenkoetter as Director of Central Intelligence. Most intriguing was Smith’s
close relationship as friend and business partner with Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands,
that former SS officer who, with Smith’s help, founded the secretive Bilderberg meetings.
Prior to leaving for England prior to hostilities, Bernhard was employed in I.G. Farben’s
Intelligence Department NM7.

--- Gen. Nathan F. Twining, commander of the Air Material Command based at
Wright-Patterson, was already heavily involved in the UFO issue by the time of MJ-12.
He had canceled a scheduled trip on July 8, 1947, “due to a very important and sudden
matter”. This was the day the Roswell Air Base press release regarding the recovery of a
flying saucer was issued. UFO researcher William Moore claimed that Twining actually
made a two-day trip to New Mexico. On September 23, 1945, just as the Air Force
became a separate service, Twining sent a letter to chief of staff of the Army Air Force,
Brigadier General George Schulgen, who had requested information on “flying discs.” In
a letter stamped “secret,” Twining began by stating without equivocation, “The
phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious.”” He recommended
that a permanent group be established to study UFOs.

--- Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, a West Point graduate and military man, served as
Air Force Chief of Staff and Director of Central Intelligence. As a named MJ-12 member,
Vanderberg did not appear to have solid Wall Street connections. However, he was a
close relative to the powerful U.S. Senator Arthur Vandenberg, who served as President
Pro Tempore of the Senate, third in line of succession to the Presidency, and chaired the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Senator Vandenberg also participated in the
creation of the United Nations. In January, 1945, the senator made headlines by
announcing his conversion from isolationism to internationalism. As such, he
orchestrated bi-partisan support for the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. The
“Vandenberg Resolution,” passed by the Senate in 1948, paved the way for mutual Allied
security by the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In the early 1950s,
Gen. Vandenberg ordered the original Project Sign report stating that UFOs were real
destroyed. Many UFO researchers believe Vanderberg’s role was to maintain security for
MJ-12.

126

--- Dr. Detlev Bronk, a physiologist and biophysicist with international
credentials, chaired the National Research Council and was a member of the medical
advisory board of the Atomic Energy Commission. From 1953 until 1968, he was
president of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, during which time he given a
$600,000 mansion. Bronk maintained a long correspondence with Vannevar Bush and
also was on the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Brookhaven National Laboratory
along with Dr. Edward Condon, who later debunked UFOs in a major UFO study for the
Air Force.

--- Dr. Jerome Hunsaker, an aircraft designer, chaired the Departments of
Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. In 1933, the year Hitler came to
power, Hunsaker became vice president of the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation, which
manufactured airships which offered passenger flights to various countries, including
Germany, Brazil and the USA. It should be noted that it was less than three months after
the death of Hunsacker, the last survivor of those named in the MJ-12 documents, the
disputed documents suddenly arrived at the home of a UFO researcher. Many feel
Hunsacker’s death may have signaled someone in the official world that it was now
permissible to leak the MJ-12 Eisenhower Briefing document.

--- Sidney W. Souers was a retired rear admiral who in 1946 became the first
Director of Central Intelligence, appointed by President Truman. He was Executive
Secretary to the National Security Council in 1947 and remained a special consultant on
security matters for a time after leaving that post. Souers also had a lifelong connection to
American corporate business. Between 1920 and his death in 1973, Souers held executive
positions in the Mortgage and Securities Company of New Orleans, First Joint Stock
Land Bank, the Canal Bank and Trust Company of New Orleans, the Aviation Company
and the General American Life Insurance Company.

--- Gordon Gray, an heir to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company fortune, was
assistant secretary of the Army in 1947, became Secretary of the Army in 1949 and a
year later was named a special assistant on national security affairs to President Truman.
During that same time period, Gray was named Director of the government's
Psychological Strategy Board (PSB), established in 1951 to undertake disinformation and
psychological warfare against enemies. During his stint on the PSB, Gray’s chief
consultant was the ubiquitous Henry Kissinger, was also was a paid consultant to the
Rockefellers. According to one source, Gray directed a psychological strategy study of
UFOs consulted by CIA Director Walter B. Smith. Gray also was a member of the
Council on Foreign Relations while serving under Presidents beginning with Truman and
ending with Gerald Ford. He also was chairman of the board for Piedmont Publishing
Co., Triangle Broadcasting Company and Summit Communications.

--- Dr. Donald Menzel, as a director of the Harvard College Observatory, was a
respected astronomer who led a double life. He became a widely-known debunker of
UFOs after writing three books in which he explained away most reports and dismissed
others, saying, “All non-explained sightings are from poor observers.” However,
physicist Stanton Friedman, after studying Menzel’s unpublished biography and
interviewing his widow, discovered that Menzel had been a covert consultant for both the
CIA and the NSA with a Top-Secret Ultra security clearance. This was verified by a letter
from Menzel to President Kennedy in which he mentioned his intelligence work stating,

127

“I have been associated with this activity for almost 30 years and probably have the
longest continuous record of association with them.” Gray also worked closely with the
State Department, especially concerning Latin American affairs. Just before the outbreak
of World War II, Manzel unsuccessfully tried to interest the Rockefeller Foundation and
Howard Hughes in funding a High-Altitude Observatory at Boulder, Colorado. In Menzel
we find a man publicly known as simply a notable astronomer having intriguing and
high-level intelligence connections.

--- Gen. Robert M. Montegue, a military man with no known corporate links,
nevertheless was the base commander of Fort Bliss near E] Paso, Texas, in 1947 during
the time the Paperclip scientists were there. He also served as Director of the Anti-
Aircraft and Guided Missile Branch of the Army’s Artillery School as well as
commanding general of the Sandia Atomic Energy Commission facility in Albuquerque,
New Mexico, from July, 1947, to February, 1951. His responsibilities included security at
the White Sands Proving Ground. So Montegue was intricately involved with both the
Roswell crash and the Nazi Paperclip scientists.

--- Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner worked under Vannevar Bush as executive secretary of
the Joint Research and Development Board in 1946 and headed a study which resulted in
the creation of the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group. Berkner also was a member of
the 1952 CIA-sponsored panel headed by Dr. H. P. Robertson which deflected public
attention away from UFOs by concluding that they did not constitute any direct threat to
national security. Berkner also was president of Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI),
established in 1946 to “acquire, plan, construct and operate laboratories and other
facilities that would unite the resources of universities, other research organizations and
the Federal Government.” Funding for the AUI came from such luminary institutions as
Comell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, MIT and Yale. One of the institutions closely
connected to the AUI is Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, long rumored
to be involved with both defense weaponry as well as UFOs.

These distinguished men appeared to have two things in common—they were all
connected to the highest levels of the national security as well as American corporate
business and they were all dead at the time the MJ-12 papers surfaced, thus unable to
answer any questions about their role, if any, in such a group.

The agenda of any such control group may have been best expressed by President
Lyndon B. Johnson who, speaking to the Senate Democratic Caucus on January 7, 1958,
stated, “Control of space means control of the world...From space, the masters of infinity
would have the power to control the Earth’s weather, to cause drought and flood, the
change the tides and raise the levels of the sea, to divert the Gulf Stream and change the
climate to frigid... There is something more powerful than the ultimate weapon. That is
the ultimate position—the position of total control over the Earth that lies somewhere in
outer space...Andi if there is an ultimate position, then our national goal and the goal of
all free men must be to win and hold that position.”

Adding to this puzzling statement are facts indicating a connection between the
NASA space program, the occultism of the Nazis and the Russian space program.

Richard C. Hoagland, a former science adviser to Walter Cronkite and CBS News
during the Apollo Program, astounded conspiracy researchers in the 1990s with his
assertion that the time and date of many NASA space launches, including the Apollo
moon missions, were set to coincide with astrological alignments of the stars and planets.

128

“This remarkable new evidence, that ‘all is not as we have thought regarding
NASA,’ is distinctly different from the official NASA imagery that [I have] been
analyzing for almost 15 years,” reported Hoagland. “This new evidence is of a ‘pattern’
[shown by] an official, undeniable log of NASA mission planning, mission priorities, and
Space Agency decisions extending back to when the Agency was officially formed by
Act of Congress, on July 29, 1958. This log has been carefully compiled from recorded
network mission broadcasts from, among others, ‘my’ old network—CBS; officially-
published NASA mission time lines; and documented testimonials of former NASA
scientists.”

According to Hoagland, these cross-correlated public records now provide firm
evidence of an astonishing, official link between NASA's supposedly strictly "scientific"
planetary missions and millennial-old occult beliefs stemming from Egyptian religious
mythology involving the constellations of Sirius, Orion and Leo. In fact, the original
official NASA Apollo Lunar Program logo of the 1960s clearly depicted Orion’s belt in
the constellation of Orion, long thought to represent Osiris, a central figure in Egyptian
celestial mythology. “Curiously, immediately after the Apollo 13 ‘accident,’, NASA
quietly changed this official Apollo Program logo—adding random stars to the existing
constellation, thereby cleverly obscuring its direct derivation from *Orion,”” noted
Hoagland.

He concluded that the extraordinarily complex and expensive mission planning
for the entire Apollo Lunar program, far from being merely "represented" by this
"interesting" Egyptian mythological connection, was in fact completely controlled by,
and designed around, this crucial "Orion" symbolism. In other words, someone with
enough authority to set the launch date and time for Apollo space mission, as well as
many others, was guided by the astrological alignment of the stars and planets rather than
on any non-sectarian scientific basis. This hidden occult aspect has been kept carefully
hidden not only from the American taxpayers who paid for these missions but from the
vast majority of NASA personnel.

Mary Ann Weaver, a former Boeing Engineer and computer professional, was
intrigued by the data produced by Hoagland and his associate, Michael Bara. As a former
researcher with the Antenna division of Boeing, she was experienced in 3-D computer
modeling, computational analysis and developing equations and analytic methods for
problem solving. Weaver set out to confirm or deny the findings of Hoagland and Bara.

After a careful study of their data, Weaver concluded that the star alignments for
the mission activities and launches did not happen by accident. “[T]hey must happen by
design,” she stated. “To try and explain them via random processes results in odds of
billions to one. | would not bet on the "random" side of these kind of odds ...”

“The significance of these findings is [that] I have shown there to be a pattern
throughout 82 launches that were part of the Apollo preparation phase—and Apollo
itself. Additionally, I have shown that the Apollo missions follow this same pattern on a
day-to-day, mission activities level, which is even more improbable because of its
consistency with the launch data. Furthermore, it is improbable that the frequency of
these stellar alignments are tied to weather or lighting conditions, because of the fact that
they occur for a variety of mission events, even those that do not require specific lighting
or weather conditions.” She concluded.

Michael Bara pointed to a disturbing similarity with Russian space flights.

Bara noticed that the launch of the first module for the new International Space
Station was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome located in Kazakstan, now an
independent nation which borders Russia and the Caspian Sea, and was apparently
designed to coincide with a number of the significant celestial alignments already found
in NASA’s long established ritual pattern. This would indicate some connection between
the former Soviet space program and NASA, perhaps through the Nazi scientists working
in both.

According to Bara, “[The module] Zarya, which translates into ‘sunrise’ or ‘rising
sun’ in English, was launched from pad 333 at its precisely scheduled time despite
Russian requests to have the launch delayed. NASA, citing a number of minor technical
considerations, refused the Russian request and the launch went off as originally
scheduled and was witnessed by NASA administrator Dan Goldin. Considering that the
[International Space Station] program was already a year behind schedule, another minor
delay would not, despite NASA protestations to contrary, have led to a significant
problem. Only when you consider the symbolic significance of the moment does this
steadfast insistence make sense.”

Who is orchestrating the launches of space missions in both the United States and
Russia with an eye toward occult astrological alignments? And who did President
Johnson mean by the “masters of infinity”?

They may well be those global National Socialists and their minions who seek
control of the entire world. As revealed recently by Nicholas “Nick” Rockefeller, a
participant in the World Economic Forum, member of the Council on Foreign Relations
and the International Institute for Strategic Studies, to Hollywood producer Aaron Russo,
“The end goal is to get everybody chipped, to control the whole society, to have the
bankers and the elite people control the world.”

On August 10, 1944, Hitler’s deputy, Martin Bormann, working with Hermann
Schmitz, chairman of I. G. Farben and Hermann Abts, chairman of Deutsche Bank, called
top German business leaders and Nazi Party officials to the Hotel Maison Rouge in
Strasbourg. According to captured transcripts of the meeting its purpose was to see that
“the economy of the Third Reich was projected onto a postwar profit-seeking track.” This
corporate “track” came to be known as Aktion Adlerflug or Operation Eagle Flight. It was
nothing less than the perpetuation of National Socialism through the massive flight of
money, gold, stocks, bonds, patents, copyrights and even technical specialists from
Germany.- Bormann, aided by the black-clad SS, the central Deutsche Bank, the steel
empire of Fritz Thyssen and the powerful I.G. Farben combine, created 750 foreign front
corporations—S58 in Portugal, 112 in Spain, 233 in Sweden, 214 in Switzerland, 35 in
Turkey and 98 in Argentina. I.G. Farben owned an additional 700 companies around the
world.

Bormann used every known device to disguise ownership and patterns of
operations - use of nominees, option agreements, pool agreements, endorsements in
blank, escrow deposits, pledges, collateral loans, rights of first refusal, management
contracts, service contracts, patent agreements, cartels, and withholding procedures.

In 1941, 171 American corporations had more than $420 million invested in
German companies. After war was declared, Bormann merely had operatives in neutral
countries such a Switzerland and Argentina buy American stocks using foreign exchange
funds in the Buenos Aires branch of Deutsche Bank and Swiss banks. Large demand

130

deposits were also placed with major banks in New York City to include National City
Bank (now Citibank), Chase (now JP Morgan Chase), Manufacturers and Hanover (now
part of JP Morgan Chase), Morgan Guaranty, and Irving Trust (now part of the Bank of
New York).

“The great German combines were the spearheads of economic penetration in the
other American republics [South and Central American nations],” stated U.S. Treasury
official Orvis Schmidt. “In the field of drugs and pharmaceuticals the Bayer, Merck, and
Schering companies enjoyed a virtual monopoly. I.G. Farben subsidiaries had a firm hold
on the dye and chemical market. Shipping companies and, in some areas, German
airlines, were well entrenched.” According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the
"greatest unsolved bank robbery” in world history was the disappearance of the entire
German treasury at the end of the war. The foundation for a multinational German
business empire was in place.

An Allied investigator, Department of Justice attorney James Stewart Martin, was
sent to U.S. Military Command in London to investigate post-war collaboration between
the Nazis and American businessmen. “We had not been stopped in Germany by German
business. We had been stopped in Germany by American business. The forces that
stopped us had operated from the United States but had not operated in the open.

... whatever it was that had stopped us was not ‘the government.’ But it clearly had
command of channels through which the government normally operates. The relative
powerlessness of governments in the growing economic power is of course not
new...national governments have stood on the sidelines while bigger operators arranged
the world’s affairs,” reported Martin.

Using escape routes that came to be known as Ratlines, German Nazis with the
loot of Europe spread out over the world. Many came to the United States under several
programs such as Project Paperclip. By 1955, more than a thousand German scientists
had been granted citizenship in the U.S. and given prominent positions in the American
scientific community. Many had been longtime members of the Nazi party and the
Gestapo, had conducted experiments on humans at concentration camps, used slave labor,
and committed other war crimes. CNN reporter Linda Hunt, author of the 1991 book
Secret Agenda: The United States Government, Nazi Scientists, and Project Paperclip,
1945-1990 wrote that she had examined more than 130 reports on Project Paperclip
subjects—and every one "had been changed to eliminate the security threat classification.

“The Paperclip office operated out of the Intelligence Division’s headquarters in
Heidelberg, under Deputy Director Colonel Robert Schow, who would become assistant
director of the CIA in 1949 and assistant chief of staff for intelligence in 1956,” author
Hunt reported. She added that officers of the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA)
who managed Project Paperclip soon began receiving security reports from Schow’s
office pertaining to the Nazis recruited into the program. All reports had been changed
from ‘“‘ardent Nazi” to “not an ardent Nazi.”

Despite government claims that Paperclip was ended in 1947, according to Hunt,
this project was “the biggest, longest-running operation involving Nazis in our country’s
history.” By the 1990s, when details of Paperclip finally reached the public’s ears, the
infusion of Nazis into America’s military-industrial complex was complete.

Decorated Nazi Wernher von Braun, the father of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), is one of the more recognizable names of the Paperclip

131

scientists. Others included Major General Walter Dornberger, a close associate of Von
Braun; Werner Heisenberg, physicist and Nobel laureate who founded quantum
mechanics; gaseous uranium centrifuge expert Dr. Paul Harteck; Nazi atom bomb
physicist and military project leader Kurt Diebner; uranium enrichment expert Erich
Bagge; 1944 Nobel Prize winner Otto Hahn, called the “father of nuclear chemistry”;
scientists Carl Fredrich von Weizsacker, Karl Wirtz and Horst Korsching; and physicist
Walter Gerlach.

Heisenberg and Gerlach are of special interest as Heisenberg was one of the
founders of quantum mechanics and Gerlach’s specialty was gravitational physics
lending support to the idea that the Nazis were pursuing esoteric concepts to enrich
uranium.

In 1952, the popular Allied Supreme Commander, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
was elected president. He was persuaded to name John Foster Dulles as his secretary of
state and his brother, Allen Dulles, as CIA director. The Dulles brothers were merely the
Republican replacements for their client and business partner, Democrat Averell
Harriman. It should be noted that the Dulles brothers were both attorneys for and
business partners with Harriman, who, in tum, was both mentor and fellow Skull &
Bones member to both Bush, Sr. and his son, George W.

It should also be noted that Allen Dulles, as OSS station chief in Bern,
Switzerland, sat at the nexus of U.S. intelligence as well as Soviet Intelligence, such as
the infamous Rote Kapelle or Red Orchestra spy network. It was during his stint as
assistant to the U.S. Ambassador that Dulles used SS Brigidier General Walter
Schellenberg to communicate with his immediate superior, Reichfuehrer Heinrich
Himmler.

Dulles constantly sent intelligence reports to Washington, building a complicated
empire of information and disinformation that reached from Bern to Berlin and back
again.

Dulles moved from Bern to become OSS station chief in Berlin at the end of the
war. In 1947, when the OSS was rolled into the newly-created CIA, Dulles’ translator
was an Army Intelligence officer named Henry Kissinger, who would go on to become
secretary of state under President Richard Nixon to help further the aims of his pro-Nazi
masters.

Project Paperclip quickly came under the control of an “old Boy” network
encompassing members of the Eastern Establishment and Council on Foreign Relations.
After its inception, Paperclip was run by the Intelligence Division of the U.S. Army’s
European Command, directed by Robert Walsh operating out of Berlin. “The Paperclip
office operated out of the Intelligence Division’s headquarters in Heidelberg, under
Deputy Director Colonel Robert Schow, who would become assistant director of the CIA
in 1949 and assistant chief of staff for intelligence in 1956.

After assuming the directorship of the newly-created CIA, Allen Dulles, that man
who had brokered the deals allowing Hitler’s rise to power as attorney for the Shroeder
bank, assumed control over Project Paperclip and increased the flow of National
Socialists into the United States.

Former Nazi spymaster Generalmajor Reinhard Gehlen, who had been named by
Hitler to head the Fremde Heere Ost or Foreign Armies East, met with the CIA director
Dulles and offered his extensive spy network to the CIA in exchange for non-prosecution

of their Nazi pasts, Dulles had the scientists’ dossiers re-written to eliminate
incriminating evidence of their work for the Nazis. This Nazi network, known as the
Gehlen Organization, became America’s eyes and ears in the early days of the Cold War.

Under Gehlen’s proposal to offer up his intelligence network, it was stressed that
it would operate independently and as an equal, offering the Americans only the
information they requested or he decided to share, but never in any way conflicting with
the interests of his Fatherland. In other words, everything the United States learned about
Soviet aims and capabilities at the end of World War II, came from an anti-communist
underground filtered through a Nazi organization. Small wonder there was an immediate
Cold War, which may well have been the globalist’s plan since their 1917 creation of
communism in Russia and their attempt to form a League of Nations.

Another forgotten connection between US authorities and the Nazis was the
International Criminal Police Organization known as Interpol.

Interpol was created as the International Criminal Police Commission in 1924, the
same year J. Edgar Hoover became director of the FBI. It was headquartered in Vienna,
Austria. It was established to assist in international police cooperation. In 1938, following
the Anschluss or unification of Germany and Austria, the organization came under Nazi
control and until the end of World War II functioned as an intelligence and enforcement
arm of the Gestapo. During those years, Interpol was headed by some of the most
notorious Nazi war criminals, such as SS-Obergruppenfuehrer Reinhard Heydrich, who
chaired the infamous Wannsee Conference where the Holocaust was planned; Arthur
Nebe, the criminal police chief who also commanded Einsatzkommandos or Killer
Squads that liquidated “undesirables” and Emst Kaltenbrunner, who succeeded the slain
Heydrich and was hanged at Nuremberg for war crimes. Working with Heydrich at
Interpol was a young SS officer named Paul Dickopf. After the war, Dickopf served as
president of Interpol from 1968 to 1972.

At the recommendation of FBI Director Hoover, who always seemed more
concerned with communists than Nazis, the United States formally joined Interpol just
two weeks after the 1938 Nazi Anschluss of Austria. Hoover kept up a friendly
correspondence with Nazi Interpol leaders until a few days after Pearl Harbor when
apparently he felt such connections might tarnish his image.

In 1946, Hoover side-stepped the U.S. State Department by attending a meeting in
Brussels to formally reconstitute Interpol, where he was elected vice president. Many
researchers claim Hoover gained blackmail leverage over many prominent American
business and political leaders by acquiring the Nazi/Interpol intelligence files at the end
of World War II. To this day, Interpol officials have declined to seek out Nazi war
criminals, claiming such action is beyond its jurisdiction.

Otto Skorzeny, the Nazi commando who may have recovered Solomon’s Treasure
for the Nazis in early 1944, made his way to post-war Egypt where he created an
Egyptian “Gestapo” staffed almost completely with former SS officers. This operation
encompassed the Nazi-oriented Muslim Brotherhood, a progenitor of today’s al Qaeda
terrorist organization. Hassan al-Banna a Wahabi sect leader formed the Muslim
Brotherhood, which was taken over by Nazis before WW II. After the war, the
Brotherhood was passed by British Intelligence to old OSS which soon became CIA
under Allen Dulles. In 1954, the Brotherhood was banned in Egypt and so moved to

133

Saudi Arabia. The CIA used them during the 1980s in Afghanistan when the
Brotherhood’s name was changed to al Qaeda. One member was Osama bin Laden.

But the post-war Nazi intrusion was not limited to the military and intelligence
communities. The globalist supporters of National Socialism had long worked to gain
control over the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals and psychology.

By the time of his death in 1937, John D. Rockefeller and his only son, John D.
Rockefeller Jr., had not only built up an amazing oil empire but had established such
institutions as the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (established 1901), the
General Education Board (1903), the University of Chicago (1889), the Rockefeller
Foundation (1913) and the Lincoln School (1917), where the Rockefeller siblings began
their education, and Rockefeller University in New York City. These Rockefeller-funded
institutions ensured their early entry into the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals and
education.

The Rockefellers were also interested in the eugenics movement, a program of
scientifically-applied genetic selection to maintain and improve their ideal human
characteristics, which included birth and population control. In 1910, the Eugenics
Records Office was established and endowed with grants from Mrs. Edward H. Harriman
and John D. Rockefeller. Along with the previously documented business alliances
between Standard Oil and |. G. Farben, Standard Oil Vice President Frank Howard also
served as chairman of the research committee at Sloan Kettering Institute, today known
as the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the New York City-based cancer center
built in 1939 on land donated by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and financed by the Rockefeller
family. The American College of Surgeons maintained a monopolistic contro] of U.S.
hospitals through its Hospital Survey Committee, with members Winthrop Aldrich and
David McAlpine Pyle representing the Rockefellers.

Major colleges and universities across the U.S., as well as many small institutions
in every state, received aid from the Rockefeller founded General Education Board

Globalist-supported researchers advanced the German Nazis’ plan to drug entire
populations with sodium fluoride, previously used only as a rat poison. The Nazi SS
placed fluoride in the drinking water of the concentration camps to keep the inmates
docile and unresisting. Today, two-thirds of America’s water supply is fluoridated,
ostensibly to prevent cavities in children between the ages of seven and 12.

In the 1970s, American drug companies developed the antidepressant Prozac
(flouxetine) followed by Zoloft (sertraline), Effexor (venlafaxine) and Paxil (paroxetine).

Dr. Helmut Remschmidt, who led the study of hyperactivity in children, studied
under Dr. Hermann Stutte, who received his doctorate from Robert Sommer, director of
the Deutscher Verband fur psychische Hygiene or the German Association for Mental
Hygiene. Dr. Remschmidt, long after the war, still pointed to “a genetic answer” to
hyperactivity and was a leading proponent of the use of drugs such as Prozac (Fluoxetine)
which is 94% fluoride.

Remschmidt was a disciple and protégé of Nazis and their racist theories have
been passed down from teacher to student to subsequent generations of child and
adolescent psychiatrists. The number of child psychologists in U.S. schools grew from a
mere 500 in 1940 to more than 22,000 in 1990.

The influx of Nazi-developed psychiatrists after World War II, particularly in the
military and intelligence fields, has produced a blossoming of psychological disorders.

134

The American Psychiatric Association in its 1952 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for
Mental Disorders (DSM) defined only 112 mental disorders. By the publication of DSM-
IV in 1994, the number had grown to 374. The number of child psychologists in U.S.
schools grew from a mere 500 in 1940 to more than 22,000 by 1990. A person once seen
as shy today is said to be suffering from “social anxiety disorder.”

Likewise indefensible are the drugs used to treat these questionable mental
afflictions. Ritalin, for example, is now taken by more than a million American
youngsters. A 1986 edition of The International Journal of the Addictions listed 105
adverse reactions to Ritalin, including suicidal tendencies. And Americans wonder why
there has been a rash of school shootings and teen suicides in recent years.

Virtually every one of the horrendous school shootings (a few of the shooters
have their medical records sealed from the public) involve the use of mind-altering drugs,
a fact passed over by the mass media, which counts on drug advertising for a major
portion of its revenues. Direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising grew from $791
million in 1996 to more than $3.8 billion by 2004.

One willing accomplice of the globalist/Nazi nexus was an obscure Republican
politician from California. According to author Webster Tarpley, future President
Richard M. Nixon became Allen Dulles’ mouthpiece in Congress. Tarpley added, “Both
he and Senator Joseph McCarthy received volumes of classified information to support
the charge that the Truman administration was filled with ‘pinkos.” When McCarthy went
too far in his Communist investigations, it was Nixon who worked with his next-door
neighbor, CIA Director Walter Bedell Smith [who took James Forrestal’s seat on MJ-12],
to steer the investigations away from the intelligence community [and the Nazis].”

Nixon, who joined the Council on Foreign Relations in 1961 but resigned in 1965
after his membership became a campaign issue, got an initial boost to his political career
in the later 1940s by befriending a Nazi named Nicolae Malaxa, a Romanian who had
been a former business partner with Nazi Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering. It was
Nixon’s influence, along with the Dulles brothers, who freed Malaxa’s money frozen in
Chase National Bank during the war. Nixon’s share was $2 million which was used to
advance his political career. “The Treasury Department official who had frozen this
money was the same man whose legal firm won Malaxa’s case to retrieve it,” noted
former U.S. Attorney and Nazi hunter John Loftus, adding, “Such interrelationships were
very common between émigré Fascists and the right-wing of the American
establishment.”

President Lyndon Johnson was surrounded by a coterie of advisers, collectively
known as his “Wise Men.” All were members of the Council on Foreign Relations. These
included Nazi supporters such as John J. McCloy, Averell Harriman, and George F.
Kennan. “By the early 1960s the Council on Foreign Relations, Morgan and Rockefeller
interests and the intelligence community were so extensively interbred as to be virtually a
single entity,” noted Professor Donald Gibson.

Nixon, who succeeded Johnson, in 1972 appointed G. H. W. Bush chairman of
Republican National Committee and initiated “ethnic committees” filled with pro-Nazis.
Nixon staffers watched Nazi propaganda films in the White House and G. Gordon Liddy
named his “plumbers,” who burgled the Democratic National Committee offices in the
Watergate Hotel, the Organization Directed to Eliminate Subversion of the Secrets of the
Administration, in honor of the Nazi ODESSA rat line used “by acquaintance of mine.”

135

In March 1980, less than two months after succeeding Nixon in office, President
Ronald Reagan was shot. His accused assassin, John Hinckly, was son of Bush oil
association and Bush’s son Neil was scheduled to have dinner with Hinckly’s brother that
very night. For many months, while many Americans prayed for Reagan’s recovery, the
son of Nazi financier Prescott Bush ran the nation.

Vice President Bush took control during Reagan’s convalescence and initiated the
Iran-Contra scandal, seen widely as an attempt to start a war in Central America. Bush’s
name, including his little-known nickname of “Poppy,” was found in the personal
notebook of oil geologist George DeMohrenschildt, the last-known close friend of
accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

Reagan, who had attacked Trilaterals, manipulated into accepting George Bush as
vice president. Following his 1980 election, Reagan’s 59-member transition team was
composed of 28 Council on Foreign Relations members, 10 members of the elite
Bilderberg group and at least 10 members of The Trilateral Commission. He even
appointed prominent CFR members to three of the nation’s most sensitive offices—
Secretary of State Alexander Haig, Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger and
Secretary of the Treasury Donald Regan. Additionally, he named Bush’s campaign
manager James A. Baker III, who then served a chairman of the Reagan-Bush campaign
committee, as his chief of staff. Baker is a fourth-generation member of a family long
connected to Rockefeller oil interests.

Aspertame - Donald Rumsfeld, CEO of Searle, was on President Reagan's
transition team and the day after Reagan took office, appointed an FDA Commissioner
who approved aspartame, an artificial sweetener that is the object of growing
controversy. The new FDA Commissioner, Arthur Hull Hayes, over-ruled the
government’s Board of Inquiry and then went to work for the PR agency of the
manufacturer, Burson-Marstellar, rumored at $1000.00 a day, and has refused to talk to
the press ever since.

One indication that Reagan may have been under the influence of fascists came in
May, 1985, when he laid a wreath at a soldier’s cemetery in Bittburg, Germany, where
many Nazi SS officers were buried. It was also the former site of Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp. Although a hue and cry went up from veterans organizations and
Jewish groups prior to his visit, Reagan followed through with his plan to honor war
dead.

Former Nixon White House counsel John W. Dean in his book Broken
Government wrote: “It has been new on Capitol Hill since about 1997, about three years
after the GOP gained control of the House; it has been new to the White House since
2001, with the arrival of George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney, although its roots first
emerged during the Nixon presidency and began blossoming in the Reagan and Bush
Senior years.” He was referring to neo-conservatism, a more modern name for National
Socialism.

Constitutional conservatives have been flummoxed by voting for self-proclaimed
“conservatives” only to find such leaders advancing Socialist programs such as the
controversial No-Child-Left-Behind Act of 2001. This act drew immediate criticism from
educators, state authorities and libertarians alike. They questioned the act’s sweeping
proposals, which range from forcing teachers to conform to federally-mandated
curriculum to inflicting monetary punishments on schoo! districts that did not live up to

136

federal expectation, even to taking state control or turning them over to private
management companies. They also questioned the $410 million apportioned for the
education of migratory children, most of whom come from the families of illegal aliens.
Standardized testing has proven a handicap to children who speak English as a second
language.

Modern National Socialists, like their German antecedents, have used religion to
cover a multitude of anti-libertarian laws and policies.

Just a few of the better-known organizations and foundations linked by
membership or funding to the plutocracy that once supported the Nazis include the
Agency of International Development, American Civil Liberties Union, American
Council of Race Relations, American Press Institute, Anti-Defamation League, Arab
Bureau, Aspen Institute, Association of Humanistic Psychology, Battelle Memorial
Institute, Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences, Center for
Constitutional Rights, Center for Cuban Studies, Center for Democratic Institutions,
Christian Socialist League, Communist League, Environmental Fund, Fabian Society,
Ford Foundation, Foundation for National Progress, German Marshall Fund, Hudson
Institute, Institute for Pacific Relations, Institute on Drugs, Crime and Justice,
International Institute for Strategic Studies, Mellon Institute, Metaphysical Society,
Milner Group, Mont Pelerin Society, National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, National Council of Churches, New World Foundation, Rand Institute,
Stanford Research Institute, Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, Union of Concerned
Scientists, International Red Cross and the YMCA.

Today’s electronic media would be the envy of Nazi Propaganda Minister Paul
Joseph Goebbels as a mere six multinational corporations control virtually everything the
American population sees and hears.

These media giants—Time Warner Inc., The Walt Disney Company, Viacom,
Vivendi Universal, News Corporation and Bertelsmann AG—control print publishing,
radio and television and also hold sway over magazines, motion pictures, cable networks,
satellite radio and TV, book clubs, theme parks, phone companies, Internet servers and
even billboards.

Bertelsmann, for example, is the world’s largest publisher in the English
language. It is a multinational media corporation based in Gutersloh, Germany, that
employs more than 88,000 employees in 63 countries. Bertlesmann controls BMG Music
Publishing, the world's third largest music publisher; in 2002, it bought the Internet
music-sharing firm Napster; 14 music labels including Arista Records, BMG, RCA
Records, RCA Victor Group and Windham Hill; 10 Television networks, seven radio
stations, five productions houses; five newspapers, 21 magazines including Family
Circle, Parents, Geo and Stern. Bertelsmann’s real power comes from their ownership of
publishing houses which include Random House, Ballantine Books, Del Rey, Fawcett,
Bantam, Delacorte Press, Dell, Delta, Spectra, The Dial Press, Bell Tower, Clarkson
Potter, Crown Publishers, Harmony Books, Broadway Books, Doubleday, Doubleday
Religious Publishing, Main Street Books, Harlem Moon, Alfred A. Knopf, Anchor,
Everyman’s Library, Pantheon Books, Vintage, The Modern Library, Random House
Children’s Books, Fodor’s Travel Publications, Living Language, RH Puzzles and
Games, RH Reference Publishing and Princeton Review, just to name a few. It also owns
YES Solutions, a large provider of creative, media and operational services. A

137

partnership between Bertelsmann and Time Warner in 2002 produced Bookspan, the
parent organization of Doubleday Entertainment which directs the world’s largest book
clubs, including Arvato, Book-of-the-Month Club, Black Expressions, Children’s Book-
of-the-Month Club, Behavioral Science Book Club, Computer Books Direct, Architects
and Designers Book Service, Country Homes & Gardens, Crafter’s Choice, Discovery
Channel Book Club, Doubleday Book Club, History Book Club, Intermediate & Middle
Grades Book Club, The Literary Guild, The Military Book Club, Mystery Guild, Primary
Teachers’ Book Club, Scientific American Book Club, Science Fiction Book Club and
various foreign book clubs. In April, 2007, Directgroup Bertelsmann acquired a 50
percent share of the Bookspan partnership.

Not publicly listed, Bertie, as Bertelsmann is sometimes called, is 76.9 percent
owned by the Bertelsmann Foundation created by the German Bertelsmann and Mohn
families. The remaining 23.1 percent ownership resides with the Mohns.

Heinrich Mohn, chief of Bertelsmann house from 1921 onward, was a member of
a patrons group sponsoring the Nazi SS. During wartime, Bertelsmann had close ties to
Goebbels’ Propaganda Ministry and published 19 million books, making it the largest
publisher for the German Army, reported the Independent Historical Commission for
Investigating the History of the Bertelsmann House during the Third Reich (IHC), a
group created in Britain in the late 1990s.

The reach and power of such corporations, most with a Nazi background as has
been noted, today dominate virtually every sphere of life.

Paolo Lionni, in his 1993 book The Leipzig Connection, wrote: “It would be false
to say [John D. Rockefeller] was the mastermind of international intrigue and deception.
But it wouldn't be false to say the Rockefeller money has been used in various ways to
forward social and global control through economics, foundations, the United Nations,
universities, banking, industry, medicine, and of course, education, psychology and
psychiatry...

“It is not incorrect to say that a major segment of today's modern institutions
exist, not because of honest study and concern for the truth in the respective fields, but
because Rockefeller's money was available at their inception to fund incredible PR
campaigns, establish "professional" publications and societies, steam roller over any
competition (regardless of their legitimacy or value), and continue selling the ideas until
accepted and institutionalized within the basic fabric of society.

“*’..That's a tremendous amount of control and involvement for one group! What
if the theories and practices they funded and continue to fund are fundamentally flawed
and don't lead to the best possible situations in the various fields mentioned? Well, the
views in most of those areas are fundamentally flawed and they don’t lead to the best
solutions in ‘mental health’, education, medicine, sanity and happiness. But, most likely,
despite all "humanitarian" posturing, they were never intended to.”

Is it possible that the wealthy globalist families and companies that first created
communist Socialism in Russia then National Socialism in Germany have today created a
new empire in the United States—a Fourth Reich?

The signs are ominous. Since 2000, the nation’s commander and chief has been
the grandson of a man prosecuted by the U.S. Government in 1942 for being a financial
front man for Hitler and his Nazis. The governor of the most populous state in the Union,
Arnold Schwarzenneger, is the son of a Austrian Nazi Brown Shirt leader and, until

138

recently was close friends to Kurt Wahlheim, who was deposed as president of Austria
after his Nazi background became known. Even Pope Benedict XVI, as young Joseph
Ratzinger in Poland, was a member of the Hitler Youth.

Using German advances in the study of the human mind, behavior, and
propaganda, global Socialists, squeezing in from both the political left and right, today
are attempting to subdue the American population through a maze of government
policies, drugs, a dumbed-down education system, and a controlled corporate mass
media. Political and corporate leadership continually swap roles creating a merger of the
state and industry — the very definition of fascism. Mergers and leveraged take-overs
have concentrated corporate power into fewer and fewer hands, many of those directly
connected through banking and corporate ties to pre-war support for the Nazis.

Law enforcement personnel increasingly no longer wear the blue uniforms of
police sworn “to serve and protect,” but black body armor with the German-style military
helmets, initially dubbed the “Fritz” by the soldiers.

Even the fields of religion, education, and entertainment are being used to
transform whole generations of formerly free Americans into cowed and subservient
members of an increasingly National Socialist or Nazi system.
